According to Kyle, Broken Paddle IBA is an unconventional beer. At first glance it appears to be a stout, but upon further investigation you will find a complex brew with many an identity crises, stuck somewhere between an IPA and a Stout. ABV 6 IBU 65

When asked what his inspiration was for Broken Paddle, KyleLarsen replied, “I wanted to brew a unique creation, something new to Full Sail and I did not follow any style guidelines. I combined both of my favorite Full Sail beers, IPA and Humma Gumma Oatmeal Stout to create a Black IPA. In my quest for the perfect beer I decided that a hefty portion of spicy rye malt would complement the roastiness and aggressive hop characteristics of a black IPA.
