Otter Creek - Alpine Black IPA


Otter Creek Brewery's Alpine Black IPA is a seasonal release.  Yes, it's still winter in some parts of the country.  
 
While everyone was out trying to find Hopslam this year, I enjoyed a couple of these.  I wish I could have a report on this year's batch of Hopslam, but every bottle and keg vanished from the triangle within a matter of days..
 
Anyway.. This guys pours coal-black with minimal head.  The nose consists mosly of alpine hops and citrus.  Generous mouthfeel.  Smokey/nutty finish.  This is a pretty darn good beer.  Highly Recommended!
