I made a Cascadian Dark ale using the Hopville calculator. I've only had a couple of black IPA's, but they have been lacking roasty character. Mine is like a hoppy porter/stout. It's not overly roasty, but it's prominent.
5.5 gal yield
6 lbs pilsen LME
1 lb wheat DME
1.25 lbs light DME
3/4 lb crystal 60
3/4 lb carafa II special (dehusked)
1/2 lb special roast
1 oz Warrior (13.7%) @ 60 mins
1.5 oz Cascade (6.2%) @ 20/5 mins
1 oz Cascade 11 day dry hop
WLP 001
It's quite good, but it wasn't supposed to be so roasty. My guess would be that I wasn't given dehusked carafe II.
