Bootleg Brewery " Black Market" Black IPA - Australia (ABV 6%)

Another limited release single batch beer from Bootleg. I was lucky to pick this one up about 10 minutes after it was delivered to the bottle shop fresh from the brewery. I quite like the labelling and its link in with the prohibition themed "Speakeasy IPA" label.

This a an excellent Black IPA brewed with US hops (Citra, Simcoe and Amarillo) it has a real IPA hoppiness to it with that lovely roasted maltiness of a Porter. Pours into the glass looking like a Porter but the smell is very much the citrus, pine and fruitiness you expect from an IPA.

Loved this Black IPA, it is a much better effort than the 2011 version.
