Fuller's Black IPA has the rich malt body, dark colour, and hoppy taste typically associated with this popular style. Dehusked roasted malt imparts subtle chocolate and coffee notes to the beer, but without the astringent sharpness usual found in stouts. Generous additions of the New Zealand hop Nelson Sauvin bring a unique tropical fruitiness to the Black IPA, well-balanced by the spicy US Chinook hop.
