Uinta Dubhe Imperial Black IPA
Ale brewed with Hemp seed.
Introducing the newest addition to Uinta Brewing Company’s lineup, Dubhe (pronounced Doo-bee), an Imperial Black IPA.
Dubhe was named after Utah’s Centennial Star, a star classified as a Red Giant. Dubhe, the star, appears orange in color, and is found at the top end of the big dipper’s spoon. The name “Dubhe” continues Uinta’s tradition of celebrating the great state of Utah, however, “Dubhe” is a fitting name for more than that reason: this beer is as black as the night sky and is brewed with an astronomical amount of hops.
Dubhe is comprised of five hop varieties, a hop profile bold enough to shine through the roasted, dark malt character of this beer. A citrusy hop aroma, achieved by dry hopping with a proprietary blend of extreme Northwest hops, balanced with notes of mild dark chocolate and a hint of sweet licorice. Smooth from start to finish, Dubhe’s layered flavor profile emerges with rich and rounded toasted malt flavors, and is followed by a lively hop bitterness. At over 5 pounds of hops per barrel, Dubhe is the most hop-laden beer Uinta has ever produced.
This shinning new addition is brewed with hemp seed (A play on the name, perhaps?), and has a far-out ABV of 9.2%.

Pours black with a one finger tan head with nice lacing. Aroma is of pine, citrus, roasted malts, coffee, tropical fruits, and some herbal hop notes. Taste is similar to the aroma. Has a medium-full body with a creamy mouthfeel and a semi dry, moderately bitter, long, lingering finish. Overall, an outstanding black IPA that is very drinkable for over 9 % abv.
Solid body. Good flavor. Nice hop profile. Solid beer. The high ABV is hidden well.
Deep brown pour with a nice aroma of citrus and sweet malt. Taste is complex with light and dark notes. Excellent mouthfeel and finish. Alcohol is well-hidden.
Pours a deep dark amber color. Aromas of big hop action, sweet malts, and more hops. Flavor has some bready maltsy tastes with nice grapefruit and floral hop taste.
A really nice black IPA. A dark pour, good aroma of malts a hops. Body is balanced and the alcohol is masked exceptionally well. Must more potent than it tastes.
Pours a full black, with a tan head. Aroma is of hops and malts. Taste is rich and hoppy, with lots of complexity. Long lasting hoppy palate. This is a very nice black IPA. Thumbs up.
On tap 4 oz. sampler at Pizza Paradiso in Alexandria, VA.
Opaque, very dark brown, with a light tan head and very good lacing.
Aroma of roasted malt, citrus, licorice, chocolate and pine.
Taste of roasted malt, orange, licorice, vanilla, chocolate and pine.
Full body and medium/low carbonation.
Ar- hint of hop citrus, pineapple are balanced with roasty malts. Light chocolate,
Ap- clear dark brown with string tan head
Fl- sweet malts up front, roasty and hop bitterness blend very nicely in the mid palate, citrusy hops take over toward the end finishing bitter with hint of tobacco and licorice.
Ov- damn good. Would like a touch more hop character for a double IPA, black or not. But still really good.
This beer is on tap at Mad Mex. Really an IPA with plenty of hops, the smoke is minimal but enough to add character. dark cola with a nice tan head.
Hoppy aroma with a burnt body finish is chocolatey with a slight hop profile.
Creamy dark body with malt/hop finish. A little roasted flavors hiding in there. Not too bad.
Muy buen aroma donde se combinan notas tanto cítricas como herbales.
De color completamente negro, cuerpo medio, Corona de espuma excelente y muy buena retención.
Al paladar se perciben sabores complejos, notas dulces, regaliz y punch de lúpulo.
Al final es muy equilibrada, las notas torrefactas ahí están, notas a regaliz, notas licorosas, pero el lúpulo es lo destacado.
Excelente Imperial Black Ipa.
Bottle in hotel room Orlando 2016... Dark black... Massive burnt pine roast malts nose... Dark roast.. Dark malts... Sweet chocolate... Big pine roast... Dark chocolate... Long bitter Light licorice finish
Bottle from Beer and Wine. Dark brown body with medium head. Nose is dark brown sugar, mollases and malt. Taste is hoppy with nice chocolate and licorice notes. Creamy texture. Quite a nice beer really.
12oz bottle - pours a deep brackish brown with a med tan head. Layered aroma of roasted grain and citrusy hop.
Medium aroma with sweeter dark berries and some licorice. Pitch black color with small light beige head. Medium/strong taste with licorice, dark berries, some hops and a bit of hemp nuances. Averagely balanced with medium/narrow taste spectrum and long hoppy aftertaste with roasted malts. Medium body with low carbonation. Overall, nicely applied hemp flavor though a bit simple for the percentage.
4 oz pour on draft at Spacebar. Dark brownish black with light tan head. Aromas of pine, dark chocolate, light citrus. Tastes of dark chocolate, pine, floral notes, light roast. Medium body with a dry finish. Alcohol is well masked. Pretty tasty.
12oz bottle to tulip. Pours brown/black, good cream tan head. Aroma of roasted nuts, figs, licorice. Taste of same with caramel, booze, chocolate and a grapefruit finish.
Almost black color . One-finger , beige head. Aroma of resin hops and roasted caramel . Lingering, hoppy bitterness mixed with roasted malt in taste. Well hidden alcohol, long , bitter aftertaste.
Nearly opaque deep red brown with short but dense tan head. Chocolate, pine, orange, and a little caramel in aroma. Oily start with low carbonation - moderate finish that lightly bitters. Toasty malts in taste to go with chocolate - some hop bittering on end. This is really nice.
Cascadian dark ale from Utah. Chocolate and pine resin in the nose. Roasty and hoppy. Was a little harsh at fridge temperature, but it definitely improves with a little warming- the caramel flavours really come through, smoothing out the entire flavour profile. Nice one - would have again.
12oz bottle. Pours black with thick dark tan head. Aroma is rich and roasty. Lacing. Liquorish and alcohol. Could use a bit more body instead of alcohol burn.
Aroma: fruity, roasted, slight chocolate notes.
Appearance: deep Amber color; brown head.
Taste: malt, burnt coffee, bitter, first drink was hoppy with burnt flavors; finish was bitter with coffee and cocoa notes.
Palate: smooth, silky, but light.
Overall: good effort; like the beer. RateBeer member Buukwurm said it well, “This beer really shines if allowed to warm moderately before drinking”. #respectbeerbrethern
Pour from bottle in SLC airport. Pours black with light and short lived cream head. Quite delicious and complex... Notes of chocolate and pine.
Charcoal, burnt hops, and water. It's not that this is a bad beer, it's just not the style I like. I hardly buy any IPAs anymore because they're just overly bitter.
This IPA poured a deep Amber colour with a rocky brown head. Scents include roasted malts and grass. First swig was quite hoppy with lots of delicious burnt flavours. Finish was bitter with delicious coffee and cocoa flavours lingering.
Pour an almost black with a minimal brown head. Malt and chocolate aroma. Easy drinking imperial ipa. My first beer from this brewery, very nice.
Imperial IPA.
