El
Hopadillo Negro is one of two year round IPA offerings from Karbach and
is their version of a Black IPA. I am growing fond of all Karbach
beers so I was happy to pick this up on one of my many trips to Houston.
El Hopadillo Negro poured an opaque black with a significant tan head
that exuded heavy hops and a hint of roasted malt in the aroma. The
taste has a strong citrus hop start that faded into a sweet roasted malt
bitterness. The Negro was very similar to their Hopadillo
but a bit sweeter and with a deeper richer profile. Given the dark
appearance the brew was light and flavorful and left a roasty bitterness
on my palate. El Hopadillo Negro was a really enjoyable beer from
Karbach and its silky smooth body was a real beer treat.
