Pretty much from the roasted malts. Depending on the hop vs malt balance, black ales (I prefer black ipa) can fall anywhere from tasting like a pure ipa to tasting like a porter. Swamp Head's Darkwater is one of my favorites. Stone's Sublimely Self Righteous is incredible and widely distributed if you'd like a try.
