Arpus - x Northern Monk Krush x Hand-selected Superdelic x Mosaic Cascadian Dark Ale

A Dark Collaboration of Excellence

When the Latvian specialists from Arpus Brewing team up with the British legends from Northern Monk, you know you're in for a treat. The Cascadian Dark Ale (also known as Black IPA) is a style that is unfortunately brewed far too rarely, yet it offers the best of both worlds. You get the deep black look and roasted notes of a stout paired with the intense hop power of a modern IPA.

For this specific brew, two very special hop varieties took center stage: Krush and hand-selected Superdelic, which together with the classic Mosaic create a true firework of aromas. Imagine a combination of dark berries, tropical fruits, and a subtle resinous pine note that harmonizes perfectly with the malty foundation of chocolate and coffee. It's complex, it's bold, and it's incredibly drinkable.

Despite the respectable 8.5% ABV, this beer remains dangerously smooth. The texture is velvety, almost creamy, while the bitterness kicks in exactly where it belongs in a real Dark Ale. It’s not a heavy dessert beer, but a hop-driven statement showing how modern dark beer can taste when pros are at work.

Pair this CDA with hearty dishes for the best experience. A grilled steak with blue cheese topping or an intense chocolate cake with sea salt will beautifully highlight the contrasts of this beer. Grab a can, sit back, and enjoy this dark hop perfection from Latvia!
