I brewed many kits and all were good. But this one is my favorite so far. First time dry hopping and was concerned. But wow! Dry hopping is the way to go to showcase the hops. Will brew this again for sure.

Love the roasted flavor, I'll brew this again in the future.

Awesome and easy! Will order more and more and more...??

I hesitate to call any one kit my favorite, but if I did, this kit would be at the top of the list for that honor!Great roasted flavor that is tempered with a great mix of hops....love the Simcoe in the dry hops!The beer poured with a beautiful white head that contrasted so nicely with the clean, clear black body.Wonderful mouth feel and aroma rounds out this great kit!

One of the best beers available. Smooth,rich with a nice bite. You won’t be disappointed.

I wanted to ensure that I contributed to this because it was after reading reviews that I decided to purchase this kit. I like Black IPA's, unlike most people I have come across. The brewing instructions were pretty generic and I wish that more beer provided brewing instructions more specific to each kit, but I get that they are going for simplicity. The brewing instructions were easy to follow.I took another reviewers advice and added an extra 1oz of fuggle hops to 60 minute boil along with an extra 1oz of Centennial to the dry hop. Primary for 3 weeks. Dry hopped for one week. Results were fantastic. Nice roasty base with bitterness and hop bite. I was hoping for more hops on the nose but for that I would probably need to do a double dry hop with more hops varieties. Either way this is awesome and I would brew this again.

This was only my second brew, first from Morebeer. It came out sooo good. I split my 5 gallons into 2 and 3 after running through the full fermentation and dry hopping process. Put the 3 gallons into the keg and placed the other 2 into secondary with 8 oz of Lavazza Crema e Gusto expresso. Let it sit for 2 more weeks and then bottled it and let it set for another 2 weeks. Had nothing but compliments for both. will buy again for sure

I'm not usually a IPA lover....I don't like very bitter beers, but that's not to say I don't like hoppy beers! This dark IPA is very balanced with some great hop taste. It's one of the best beers I've ever made and will most likely have a permanent home on my 4 tap! I threw in the bottling sugar and 50% of the LME the last 15 minutes of the bowl, used California Ale yeast WLP001.Try this beer, you won't be disappointed!

This beer has the best of both worlds: Strong hop flavor/aroma combined with dark and roasty malt flavor. The perfect brew and my favorite so far.

Avery good ipa .My wife and my favorite black IPA.

I just opened a bottle last night after conditioning in the bottle for about three weeks, and This brew is one of the best I have made from More Beer. This will be one of those brews that will be on a regular rotation. I actually have my second kit in my basket ready to check out and i only finished one bottle of the first batch so far.

This is a great recipe , nice hoppy flavor I will be making this one again.

This was another kit I brewed for a friends wedding. The craft beer lovers, couldn't get enough of it. This makes my top 3 kits so far. It has a more hoppy flavor at first but as it ages the dark malt flavors takes over. I will do this one again.

I have been brewing and making my own recipes for about 7 years. I have made mostly great beers and a few that weren't so great. This was actually the first "Kit" beer I have ever brewed. I was shocked. It is SO GOOD!!! It has a nice hoppy flavor and a little bit of a smokey clean flavor from the malts. Hands down, the best black IPA I have ever made. Everyone else thinks so too.

This was my fourth homebrew - first time using a secondary and first time dry-hopping. It turned out great, as Black IPAs go, this one was definitely more Black than IPA, but that suits me quite well.I used and recommend White Labs WLP001 California Ale Yeast for this recipe. It's a beer to be proud of.

This Black IPA exceed my expectations. We brewed this in March 2014 with a full boil, 10 days in Primary and 10 days in secondary. Also to mix things up we put this beer on beergas! The creamy head we got out of our stout faucet was truly outstanding. I would recommend this beer to anyone who loves a fresh hop flavor and nice malty mouth. The hops were perfectly balanced to provide the fresh hop flavor and balanced out by the malts to give you a full smooth beer.If you are thinking about brewing a Black IPA brew this one. I would stand this beer up against any commercial Black IPA I have had.

This is a fantastic beer. I made it one time straight to the instructions and it was delicious but a tad under hopped for me. On my next batch I added 1 0z fuggles first addition and also another 1oz Centennial dry hops in addition to written recipe. It was one month in primary, 1 month in secondary and dry hopped for 6 days. Bottled and tasted at only one week......my oh my I have made my perfect beer. Fantastic hop aroma, beautiful dark color and just an overall balanced malty beer with a nice little slap of hops at the end. I better start making another batch since this won't last long

I brewed this as one of my first ever homebrews and it turned out amazing. Everyone that tried it, couldn't believe that I brewed it myself. Only thing that I'll change the next time I brew it, is that I'll hit the dry hops a little earlier into the fermentation. Cheers!

Absolutely fantastic beer, my favorite kit from morebeer.com. It was good from day one, but continues to get better after 3 months in bottles. It's a great balance of hops and malt.

Followed instructions perfectly. Pitched a yeast starter of US-05 at about 25C. A little warm, but no fusels detectable. Primary for 3 weeks at 20C. Dry hopped for 5 days before cold crashing at 4C for 3 days. Bottled with all 4oz of priming sugar. Conditioned at Phoenix room temperature (25C) for three weeks. Tastes amazing!A wonderful, dark roasted flavor. The hop aroma is present, but the roasted malt flavor swallows up most of the bitterness and aroma. Bottle conditioning takes some time. Three weeks in and it's still a bit sweet and under carbonated. If you can, give this beer some time to bottle age. My only recommendation is to add more hope when you dry hop. It could be more hoppy...I've received more compliments from this beer than any before. I will definitely brew this again.

I love a CDA and this kit turned out really good.

This is my favorite of all the beers we've made. I love porters, my husband likes IPA's. This was a nice compromise (and I call it an IPA with Training Wheels for people who are trying to branch out of their malty comfort zone). I. Love. This. Beer.

Love this beer. Neighbors love it too (and not because it's free). I'll be keeping this one on the repeat-buy list.

Would definitely buy this one again.

This was my first foray into the world of cascadia ales and black IPAs. I was really pleased with this kit, the beer came out very well. The whole process was very straightforward. Complemented my own regular IPA recipe very well.

This was the my third batch. Steeping grains show your right away this will be an assertive beer. Lots of great hops. Strong taste without being too bitter. Got to do my first dry hop with this batch. So for me it was a great kit to learn various steps (steeping, lots of hop additions, dry hopping) that i look forward to using more frequently as i try more batches and bump up to all grain. Did i mention it tastes good?

This beer turned out good but I was expecting a little more hoppiness. could use a little more finishing or dry hops for aroma overall good beer

This is a great brew, but I would warn you that it does come with a lot of specialty grains - and you may need to keep this in mind when you approach your brew day.I packed too many gains into a small muslin bag, and I didn't get as rich/dark of a beer as I was hoping for. It was more of a dark, dark brown IPA than a black ipa.With that said - I brought about 18 of these to a party and they disappeared. Everybody loved them, and my good buddy who fancies himself an connoisseur of IPA rated this higher than his favorite commercial. Not bad for my third batch ever! I highly recommend this beer and will be making it again.

I was expecting more hop flavor, but it was still a good if unusual beer. I would recommend for those who want something out of the ordinary.

I brewed this for the first time in october and it turned out to be an excellent beer. great color, aroma, head retention, with plenty of hop bite and just enough roasted maltiness. I let this beer bottle condition for one month before tasting and it was very drinkable. I let 15 bottles continue to condition and age at 50 degrees for another month and it is even better. I've brewed and/or tasted about 8 different Black IPA's and this is one of the best. -Cheers
