I like the name 'india black ale.'
For a second there I thought you were going to propose African American Ale.
The poll is skewed.
People think CDA is winning.
The people who want anything but are winning. Black IPA and American Dark can be combined as far as I am concerned.
That's how Abraham Lincoln ended up president.
Mine is called Darkness
CHARLIE MURPHAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry to revive what is clearly a dead thread, but I just brewed a (whatever they ended up calling this style) and I also named mine "Darkness" in honor of Mr. Murphy and his contributions to the world. Just wanted to say "well played, old boy" to babalu for your discerning taste.
Cheers!!

Isn't there something contradictive about "black" and "pale" in the same name though? Thats why I didn't think India Black Ale was a bad name, but then you get the confusion with India Brown Ale if you did IBA. Plus, I mean these ARE American style beers too, so India being in the name is really irrelevant at this point, other than to honor tradition and have a cool back story. I like the fresh start of Cascadian Dark Ale and it sounds kind of victorian or royal.
sonex said:It describes what to expect even if you never tasted the style. After all it is just a dark ale that has the taste profile of a IPA. so black IPA fits.
It's officially Cascadian Dark Ale from bjcp. I personally like Black IPA or India Black Ale
It's officially Cascadian Dark Ale from bjcp.
The BJCP has no subcategory for it (at least partly because their guidelines were last updated in 2008). The BA does, but they call it "American-Style Black Ale".
