Bridge Road / Stone Brewing Dark Harvest 440ml Can

Bridge Road Brewers teaming up with Stone Brewing for Dark Harvest is exactly what you’d expect from two hop-forward powerhouses—bold, layered, and unapologetically intense. This is a dark IPA that leans heavily into the “black as night, bright as day” contrast. In the glass, it pours deep brown to near-black with a persistent tan head. Aromatically, it’s all about punchy American hops—think pine resin, grapefruit peel, and a touch of tropical lift—sitting over a subtle backdrop of roasted malt. On the palate, those hops take centre stage. You get citrus and pine up front, followed by a gentle roasted character—dark chocolate, a hint of coffee, maybe even a touch of char—without tipping into stout territory. The body is medium, with a clean, dry finish that keeps the bitterness sharp and refreshing rather than heavy. It’s a clever balancing act: the richness of a dark beer with the drinkability and bite of a West Coast IPA. Ideal for hop lovers who want something with a bit more depth, or for cooler evenings when a pale just won’t cut
