Can Tasting Notes: We’ve been good pals with Thornbridge, our neighbours from just over the Derbyshire border, for many a moon now, and we thought it was high time to welcome them to our brewhouse to bring back that monster from a lost age, the Black IPA!
With a complex malt backbone including chocolate wheat for a light roasty touch, and Sorachi Ace, Simcoe, Centennial and Amarillo hops for bold yet balanced bitterness and a fruity resinous finish, we’ve got the BIPA Comeback well underway.
The illustration was inspired by The Creature of the Black Lagoon and my favourite DC Comic Swamp Thing.
The piece was sketched in pencil, then inked with Indian ink, scanned and coloured digitally with a Wacom tablet.
