Patrons Project 3.02 // Piña Colada Black IPA // James Butler // Tropical Death Party // Siren

Double Piña Colada black IPA.

We thoroughly enjoyed our first collaboration with Siren back in September, and once we came up with the Tropical Death Party idea (possibly the first time we've named a beer before deciding what it was even going to be) we instantly decided we should invite them back to help us step up the recipe. Wishing to push ourselves and our equipment to the maximum, we've turned the ABV up to 10, filling the mash tun twice to the brim to squeeze out every molecule of fermentable sugar we could. Then, as we both agree on one thing with the Black IPA style, we wanted all the colour with as little roast as possible. Cue a new technique for both of us, cold-steeping all the colour separately. Hops - lots of Sorachi Ace, famous for it's coconut notes, backed up with plenty tropical juice in the shape of Mosaic and Vic Secret. To seal the deal, double the Pineapple and Toasted Coconut to our previous work. Thick to the point of viscous in body, silky in the mouth with milk chocolate and coconut and finishing with a tropical punch. Show Less
