Favorite black IPA/ Cascadian Dark ale?

[mrgstiffler]

Exactly... it's a Cascadian Dark Ale, just like all of the other ones.

But with 55 IBUs and darker than any IPA in any range, I'd say yeah it's a CDA.

I agree. I've had MANY CDAs and I would definitely put Snow Day in that category.

I liked Laughing Dog's Hopzilla.

I'm not really sure if it considered a CDA, but rogue's mogul madness is pretty tasty

Mmm...Bridgeport Brewery's 'Dark Rain ' Black IPA is a top one for us.

Have you made it? It looks fantastic on paper! I plan on brewing it in the next week or two.

I've made it a few times. It is a hop bomb!

I really liked Stone XV, but other than that the commercial examples I have had are not hoppy enough!

Widmer Bros Pitch Black IPA. Can't go wrong with any of they're beers actually.

 

[Calichusetts]

Uinta Dubhe or Widmer bros....and I'm with Sanibel, just about everything Widmer does is fantastic

 

[PanzerBanana]

Iniquity by Southern Tier is another good one.

What he said.

The statement that prompted the "what" still makes so sense.

Even if it was brewed with hemp oil, so what? There are at least 3 hemp beers that are easily found and they are most certainly not going to raise any red flags.

Oh I know it won't raise any red flags.... Just think the poster sayin a few more yrs is military and may not realize even if it's brewed with hemp seed it will not contain thc ( therefore no worry of a drug test pop ). That's how I read into it

Stone subliminally self righteous

Another vote for Otter Creek Black IPA...very tasty

Just tried that. Pretty dang good. Not as hop intense as I was expecting, but good balance of roast notes and hop flavor. I think I will be moving forward with my plans to brew up a session style CDA. I love the complexity of this style. Not to mention, I dont think as many of my friends and family will ask for bottles of this! More for me!!!

Sorry for bringing back an old thread but.....just brewed this and tasting it for the first time. AMAZING!! Exactly what a Black IPA should be!!!

Couldn't agree with you more. The only Black IPA that I have tried that comes close is Otter Creeks Alpine Black.

I have really enjoyed O'Connor's Great Dismal Swamp cascadian dark ale. If you are ever in distribution range try and grab it.

Clown Shoes Black IPA was good. I need to get familiar with more Black IPA's.

Though it sounds like an oxymoron, Heavy Seas Black Cannon is an amazingly sessionable and refreshing Black IPA. I haven't been able to stop drinking it lately! Very smooth on the palate while still being quite interesting. Not as extreme as many of the examples in this thread.

Happy Feet 1 is good....Happy Feet 1.5 is better

I also enjoyed Hoppy Feet from Clown Shoes. I liked Wookey Jack from Firestone Walker too.
