I'll perform a second opinion on my next bottle...<br /><br />The question that leaps to mind is: Isn't a CDA simply an overhopped Porter? Not "new beer style" worthy, IMHO.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-56159784584740234042010-06-04T08:14:22.111-07:002010-06-04T08:14:22.111-07:00I've only tried 3 beers of this style.

Stone's Sublimely Self-Righteous (and the 11th anniversary ale), Widmer's BIPA, and my own horribly planned attempt (I didn't even know this was a style, I just wanted to make an IPA that was darker! I used too much roasted grains, and should've added some oats).<br /><br />The Stone beer IMO is just as the title expresses, sublime!

I don't think breweries have quit yet perfected how to balance these into something enjoyable instead of just awkward that leaves me wanting an IPA or American Stout. Then again, I'd rather they used their energy elsewhere altogether.Reinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262818029986688684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21271644.post-49455145753435867402010-06-03T13:50:32.198-07:002010-06-03T13:50:32.198-07:00Not a huge fan of the Black IPA's either.

Many other BIPA's I've had have been rather disappointing. <br /><br />Just had a BIPA from Hopworks. Actually, a friend bought it for me... I was going to have Lemonade!
