Black Hammer
Our Ruthless IPA With A Dark Malt Twist.
Jack Hammer has been single handedly ripping it up for quite some time. Now, the definitive bitter and twisted IPA, has spawned four Hammer Head off-springs. Black Hammer is the second of our hyped up hybrid IPAs. A black hearted beast, that takes no prisoners. American hops and dark malt combine to make mischief. Grapefruit and coffee collide in sensory overload – a wake-up call for other IPA’s. Molten waves of pithy grapefruit build and finally ebb to the roasty bitter onslaught. Stand firm and wield the Black Hammer with care. Stare into the black abyss and succumb to the dark-side.
