About this beer
Brewery Faisan presents Sympathy for the Abyss, a Black India Pale Ale brewed and canned in Detroit, Michigan. This one-pint (16 fl. oz.) offering clocks in at 6.7% Alcohol by Volume. The flavor profile, as suggested by the style, leans towards hoppy bitterness balanced by dark malt characteristics – a blend that creates a complex, yet approachable, experience. The label artwork depicts a strikingly detailed, woodcut-style illustration of a fish with a human skull face, adorned with seaweed and bubbles, set against a textured, dark background.
Beyond its unique aesthetic, the beer's formulation remains largely undisclosed, with the label listing only basic governmental warnings regarding alcohol consumption. However, the "Black IPA" designation hints at the use of dark, roasted malts alongside traditional IPA hops, intended to provide both color and a distinctive roasted character to compliment the hop forward aromas and flavors.
