The Raven Black IPA

The style for this beer is not an official category for the BJCP, but it's made quite a craze for itself among craft breweries and homebrewers alike. It utilizes a good amount of debittered dark malt to get color and roast without grain bitterness or harshness associated with blackened malts or blackened grains.

This was adapted from a published Northern Brewer recipe.
