Starr Hill Sabbath “One of Our Hoppiest”
Sabbath, like Black Sabbath, is a new black iPA coming from Starr Hill Brewing (Charlottesville, VA). The brewery touts the dark, chocolate monster has one of the darkest, hoppiest beers they’ve ever brewed.
Sabbath Black IPA takes the idea of a traditional India Pale Ale and turns it on its head. Dark and mysterious Chocolate malt lends extremely subtle flavor, though mostly gives this beer its color: black as the night that spawned it. Powerful hop aromas of lemon. orange. and grapefruit derive from a bevy of West Coast hops. Sabbath is of one of the darkest, hoppiest and most monstrous beers we’ve ever brewed.
Starr Hill Sabbath Black India Pale Ale will be available in 22oz bottles and draft.
Style: Black IPA
Availability: 22oz Bombers, Draft
Arrival: TBA
