Horseheads Brewing: Black Horse Ale


Style: Black IPA
Where I Found It: JRyans Pub, Syracuse, NY
Grade: A

Does anyone else notice this sudden trend of Black IPAs?  If you're a brewery and you don't have one yet, you should get on it... all the cool kids are doing it.  I've had some hits, some misses with this style but Black Horse is most definitely a hit.  Black Horse is super dark and smokey at the beginning and finishes with a nice bitter hop.  Fragrance is both hoppy and smokey.  Delicious but probably couldn't drink more than two in a row.  Horseheads is definitely pioneering some really unique and delicious beer.

Another beer you should try from them is "Hot-Jala Heim" which is a Chili Beer and it's so ridiculously good.  Has a kick to it, but nothing that would keep you from drinking five of them.  Perfect for a BBQ.
