BlackWired Black IPA: A Captivating Cascade of Flavors Hailing from the renowned 8 Wired Brewing Company in Warkworth, New Zealand, the BlackWired Black IPA is a true masterpiece of the craft beer world. This bold and complex IPA boasts a deep mahogany to black hue, with a slight reddish tinge that immediately catches the eye. The aroma is nothing short of intriguing, with notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, ripe plums, and a hint of molasses intertwining with the piney hops. The flavor profile is equally captivating, delivering a wave of roasted malt flavors that are perfectly balanced by the assertive hop bitterness. Roasted coffee dominates the palate, supported by subtle hints of dark chocolate, toffee, and caramel, while the piney, resinous hop flavors emerge on the midpalate, creating a harmonious dance of malt and hops. The medium to full-bodied texture is velvety smooth, coating the palate with a gentle fizz that complements the robust flavor profile.
