I posted a couple days ago about mixing .5# of roasted barley in my IPA grain bill, at the LHBS. I got all picked out that I reasonably could. The brew is under way, but I now seem to have a black IPA. Oh well. I'm still making beer, eh? ::)

I didn't know you actually brewed beer ???

DUDE!
You shoulda left it all in there

How can have a Black Pale ale?

Keith, do drunk you think you is?
And weaze, most beer styles were mistakes... Stout for example, imagine the cheap bastard that burned his barley and made beer with it anyway. Post pics, I'm interested.

"Brew beer" is a very loose term I use for what I do.

ha. ha. ha. FWIW it is not the beer that bugs me, it is the semantics. :P I love the idea of a Black IPA - even asked Babalu for a recipe recently) I just wish someone would come up with a more clever name. Not me. I've tried. I'm not clever enough. ::)

Deschutes Brewery has a Black IPA at their Public House. Here is the info from their site:
Hop Switch Black IPA
Pub Exclusive
The Black IPA (becoming widely known as a ‘Cascadia’ Ale for it’s inception here in the Pacific NW. Made with wonderfully complex dark malts and a myriad of hop varieties, you might just find yourself rethinking your favorite beer.
IBU’s 68.5 | Alcohol by Vol. 6.3%

You must be a white middle class male. Anyone else woulda just said what they were thinking and it'd be funny. :P
IPA - Noir
Roasted IPA
Black IPA is probably the best.

Just doesn't make sense. How can something be Black and Pale? The term "pale ale" came about because the beers were not brown or black.
-
How about India Black Ale? Like DFH's India Brown Ale.

It's an oxymoron; like Jumbo Shrimp.
Why does it have to make sense? It's just a name not a new style.

I guess if it is an oxymoron I can go along with that.

I didnt want to get into politics but:
We have a man residing in the White House who is half American (white), half Kenyan (black) and raised by his white Grandparents yet he is our first black President?
Its a Black IPA ;D
-
How about India Black Ale? Like DFH's India Brown Ale.
I think if they ever make it a style thats what they'll go with
-
Just to be clear, I have no qualms about the style. For me it is purely semantics. I am no style nazi. But, IMO "Black IPA" has a certain ring to it I like better than India Black Ale (IBA). I just get hung up on the Black/Pale part. If you could change the "P" to another term that would better reflect the beer that would make more sense.

"P" can be piceous (which means brownish-black) - but then if you use black it's redundant -
and if you omit black it's confusing to the original IPA.
BTW - that's \pie*see*us\

Black IPA
Indian Ports Ale
The first IPA's went to India
On ships that moored in Ports
The beer was an Ale
BAHAHAHAHAHAAH!
-
I dunno Major, I have a ton of black friends. On more than one occasion, I have seen them go pale! ;D
Would IBA, in place of IPA, make you feel better?
-
Call it what you want my friend. Just save a pint for me. ;)

Keith - don't know if you get Stone by you, but if you do, see if you can get Stone Sublimely Self Righteous.

That beer sums it all up perfectly. Easily the most "wow" factor I've gotten out of a commercial beer in over a year, maybe longer.
-
Sounds like an interesting beer. I just made a red ale by adding 2 oz of roasted barley to my blonde ale recipe. Fantastic results, completely different beer with just a little bit of roasted barley. I'm sure that the 1/2 pound will make it quite black but I bet it will be fun to drink.

So Weaze...what was your recipe for the whatCHAcallit Black Ale?
-

Real simple......7.5# 2 row, 1# carapils, and an undetermined amount of roasted barley. Maybe 1/8 #.
1 oz Cascade FWH
1.5 oz Cascade @ 60
.5oz Cascade @ 30
1 oz Cascade @ 15
-
My "RedHeaded Stepchild" is similar to this recipe. It is 2 row, carapils, wheat malt, and 2 oz of roasted barley. It has a very nice red color to it and a nice mild roasted flavor.
-
How about some dry hopping. 8)
Looks good..and I'm certain it will taste even better.

I brewed a Black IPA a few weeks ago. It turned out great. As suggested by my wife we're calling "Darker Shade of Pale", with a nod to Procol Harum.

Ha! This weekend I am brewing a "Paler Shade of Ale" as my own nod to Procol Harum ::)

I recently brewed a double 'IBA' (Imperial Black Ale). In a 5.5 gal recipe I used .75 lbs of 420L Carafa Special II as my dark grain because I didn't want much if any roasted flavor to come through. It has turned out to be one of the best beers I've ever had!!! 9.5% abv - SRM 26.3 - IBU's 302.5 (calculated)

I did an all Centennial Black IPA a while back...used sinamar and debittered black malt, and it still came out a bit too roasty (think schwarzbier) for me, because in my mind I was going to brew a beer that looked like a stout but tasted like an IPA. Basically the point of the beer was to trick my friends who had themselves believing that they drank "real, strong beer" (Guinness) when they couldn't handle a modest IPA! :D
I ended up just enjoying a slightly roasty IPA and brewed a chipotle IPA to REALLY trick them! :D Once I provided some friends having a party with four bottles of the same and challenged them to see who could down their 12oz the fastest. Only two finished...I wish I could have been there.

A friend of mine does a beer periodically called "Black Perle" DIPA and it pretty much has one of the dumbest hop schedules I've ever seen.

Yes indeedly it is amazingly comical. Aside from it being a good beer, I included it in the book for the comical effect!
As for the dry hops, you'd think there would be some, but the notes I was provided didn't have any!

One could certainly not get bored during that brew.

This recipe looks like the "60 minute IPA" where they add some hops every minute for full hour.
This thing is probably so bitter, one can't even feel any malt or even hops for that matter. IMO this much hops would just overwhelm each other and result in tasting like bitter over-boiled spinach.
That's just what I think, correct me if I'm wrong.

If you're talking the Black Perle... actually it was surprisingly drinkable and approachable. Yes, you're not going to be able to hand it off to a person who doesn't already like bitter beers, but it was well done.
-
11oz!?!? :o
I just did some continuous hopping in my recent batch of The Red Hoptober...not quite as meticulous or methodical though....that's a tight schedule to keep, but damn I'm sure that hop profile is nice....
Curious how mine is going to turn out... ::)

Was just reading through the new issue of Zymurgy and read the "Another Great GABF" article.
Among the many diversions at the festival, the Brewers Studio Pavilion offered several educational seminars. One of the seminars I attended was on "what's new in craft brewing." Here's the scoop:
- Black IPAs: Stone head brewer Mitch Steele presented on this growing style, which he described as a "black beer that has more in common with a schwarzbier, and is hopped like an IPA."

i brewing a black ipa this weekend (hopefully). iirc, stone 11th/sublimely self righteous is a black ipa and a wonderful brew. i can't wait to brew one myself. it will be my first all grain venture.
