Description

Enlightenment Series Black the RIPA: A Captivating Cascade of Flavors Crafted by the renowned Renaissance Brewing in Blenheim, New Zealand, the Enlightenment Series Black the RIPA is a testament to the depth and complexity of the Russian Imperial Porter RIPA style. This IPA boasts a deep, opaque black hue, crowned by a creamy, tan-colored head that lingers elegantly. The aroma invites the senses with a captivating dance of rich chocolate, roasted coffee, molasses, and hints of licorice, promising an indulgent experience to come. On the palate, the beer delivers an explosion of flavors. Initial notes of sweet chocolate and toffee give way to a roasty bitterness that beautifully balances the sweetness. Subtle spices, such as cinnamon and nutmeg, add depth and complexity, creating a harmonious and well-integrated taste experience. The full-bodied, viscous texture coats the palate, with the high alcohol content of 6.1% seamlessly integrated into the overall flavor profile. The rich and creamy mouthfeel enhances the luxurious flavors, making each sip a delightful exploration. Enlightenment Series Black the RIPA is a masterpiece of the Russian Imperial Porter style, offering a captivating and contemplative drinking experience for the discerning beer enthusiast.
