(Lakewood, NY) – Southern Tier Brewing is adding a second big beer to its lineup early this year.
Iniquity Imperial Black Ale
is a ‘black’ IPA, the color coming from the use of debittered black malt.
So what is the difference between this beer and the brewery’s existing imperial IPA, Unearthly? The new beer is a bit lighter in alcohol at 9% ABV and uses willamette in the hop back stage. Unearthly uses styrian golding hops at that point as well as chinook in dry hopping. The malt bill is obviously a bit different between the two beers.
A request is out to the brewery for information on a release date. Check out the recent article on Southern Tier Oak Aged Unearhtly and Cuvee #2 if you missed it.
[ed: Does anyone else think that their label artist should be among the highest paid in the business? Between sheer number of output, consistency, and quality...damn, nice work.]

Excellent. I love ST. I also heard they might blend the Chokolat and the Javah to make a Mocha beer. Gotta love it!
