When browsing the beer list for the festival this one
immediately caught my eye. Stone is one of the States’ most highly regarded
craft brewers and Adnams is one of my favourite UK breweries. This beer follows
the recent trend (and misnomer) of black IPAs, a heavily hopped IPA style beer
that is more like a porter in appearance. I recently read an interesting
article on the emergence of the black IPA on the Guardian which can be read
here. Supremely Self Conscious Black Ale pours a deep black and the smell is
absolutely heavenly. As you’d expect with something from Stone there are some
big hoppy flavours here but they aren’t too strong nor overpowering. Really
enjoyed this.
