Mountain Goat / Mikkeller Pepperberry Black IPA

Pumped to try this one, two great brewers making a great style of beer .. prospects of success should be very good indeed.

I'm happy to report that this doesn't disappoint. It's a bit of a different take on the Black IPA genre - the pepperberries really do give it a spicy character all the way through the mouthful - but it's well balanced, quite bitter throughout, and with that special something undercurrent Mikkeller seems to produce in all his dark beers. Slight cocoa in there somewhere amongst all the citrus bitterness.

This beer is flavoursome, interesting, and really very drinkable. Very good stuff. 8.5
