I much prefer the name Cascadian Dark Ale to Black IPA. I'm not an IPA fan, and I avoided this style for a long time because I assumed I wouldn't like it either. I was wrong, and I've really been enjoying the beer- but if it wasn't labeled as an IPA, I would have been enjoying it for even...

Humann- that steakhouse list was awful... maybe a 30-40? A steak house has bottled black butte porter and that's it for dark beers? Sorry, I can get that at applebee's.
