Stone Brewing Co.
Mocha IPA
California, USA
The best of both styles, stout with chocolate and vanilla, creamy and rich, but with that hop IPA, and yes this is first a IPA, double IPA, but this is more than the standard Black IPA, because it is a real IPA, not just the typical roasted notes, it is the very hints of a stout, but not over done, the IPA is front and center, just perfect for the style Mocha IPA, Wonderful, one beer that should be sipped and experience the complexity in the harmonious mix of styles, I would give it 10, except the AVB is not very hidden
