Just wanting a clearer view of opinions.

It's a fine line to you maybe, but get over it.
Just some info
Vermont Pub and Brewery has records of their Black IPA being brewed back in 1994............. Cascadian, my arse
Aside from 'India' and 'Pale' I agree.Dark IPA would be more descriptive.
Then why call it 'Cascadian' since it didn't come from there?I'm very biased, but I like Cascadian. We call a Pilsner because that's where it came from.
I'm very biased, but I like Cascadian. We call a Pilsner because that's where it came from. Do you like "Oregon Dark" better?
Calling it "Black IPA" or a "Black Pale Ale" is fracking silly. The only other names that people have come up with are brand names.
SQUID INK. My LHBS now carries it!
Seriously, more later...I'm busy with a client and couldn't resist.
I vote CDA. Because pale black ale sounds dumb. Plus, if Cascadia really seceded I would move there.
Oh, and nonsensical arguments aside, it's ******. Attempts at shocking language and badassery lose a lot of weight when spelled wrong. That's what the squiggly line under the word means.
Well, you don't call a stout pale, so I am sorry, that argument gets nowhere with me.
Black Pale doesn't sound dumb if you consider that it uses pale malt as its base.
Historically, there were pale stouts, actually. That is, pale in color (relatively speaking). But stouts tended to be brewed using brown malt in general, not pale malts.
I am all in favor of simply calling it "Hoppy Dark". Straight and to the point. Like Gose. Like Koelsch. Like Altbier. Like Bitter. Gives a lot more width in interpretation, doesn't offend anyone, and doesn't result in constructs like "Imperial American Black India Pale Ale" that make little sense. It's simply a dark ale that is hop-accentuated.
