Born July 29th 2009
Our second inaugural batch will be on the taps along with '37hr Simcoe SMaSH' this Wed evening July 29th '09.
'Black Nitro' is a hybrid of sorts and I've dubbed it an organic Black Pale Ale. It's tasting nice and as you may have guessed, it's served from the nitro faucet.
Vital Stats
Gravity - 12.5P/1.050
IBU's – 75
Hop Rate - 1.8 lbs/bbl
ABV - 5.5 %
Malts – Organic Canadian 2-row, Roasted Barley
Hops - Amarillo and Warrior Pellets
Formulated as a West Coast Pale Ale with organic malts and a couple twists, I upped the bitterness to 75 IBU then added enough roast barley to darken it up, and dark it is. With flavours leaning toward coffee and bitter chocolate, the citrusy zing of west coast hops and slightly vegetal from the dry-hopping with a long lingering semi-dry finish, light bodied with a somewhat full mouthfeel from the N2 gas.
Cheers
