i know that the word "dark" and "pale" don't really go together, so maybe this is a style that already exists under another name, and i'm just not familiar with it.
what i'm curious about, as dumb as it may seem, is making a beer that looks like a java stout, as far as the color, like really dark, black, but tastes completely like a nice, hoppy ipa, like stone ipa for example.
i would assume this could be doable, by using some dark roasted malts that impart only color, but no flavors, and then just hop it like an ipa, but i don't know. thought i'd ask here for some advice, experience, whatever, before i tried one myself.
