This Halloween season, Shmaltz Brewing is offering a new, limited-edition release: Death Black IPA. With the characteristics of coffee, dark chocolate and fresh citrus with a mix of pine, the black IPA's deep-roasted malt flavors provide support for a bold mix of bright and bitter West Coast hops, the company says. Available for the first time nationally on retail shelves as a four-pack of 12-ounce bottles and on draft at select bars, Death Black IPA is brewed with seven malts, seven hops, and comes in at 7 percent alcohol by volume. Four-packs of Death Black IPA have a suggested retail price of $10.99.
