Black IPA (5.7%) by Brasserie Dunham
This one pours jet black with an aggressive head.
What a beer to finish the advent calendar with. As I have said over and over, I am not a fan of the IPA category, but you know what? This one is pretty good. It is more of a stout than an IPA, except it does have that hoppiness to it, particularly the finish. But the other flavours in this beer are showing their presence enough to make the bitterness balance out pretty well.
I never thought I would say this about an IPA...... It's a buy.

Last in the 2013 ABC is Brasserie Dunham Black IPA from Dunham PQ. Malty but not too hoppy on the nose, thick long lasting head on the pour. Hoppy and citrus dominant on the tongue at first but quickly becomes toffee and treacle in the rest of the month. Not bad. 3 bottlecaps out of 5.
