What Our Editors Thought

“Hefty blue-ish tone, cool and detached, with a big dose of earthy hops. The flavor balances that tight hop bitterness with a very smooth roast. Body is a touch thin by modern standards, but it adds to the overall drinkability. Punchy and flavorful.”

What Our Panel Thought

“The usual stout signposts: roast malt, coffee, and cocoa. Very drinkable, with some rich malty character. Body seems a bit thin. Alcohol aroma is evident! Boozy, nice balancing hop bitterness. Medium body makes this beer dangerously drinkable.”

What the Brewers Say

"Massive amounts of roasted barley and chocolate malts were combined with three types of caramel malts for a rich, full mouth feel. Chinook, Cascade and Sterling hops lend a balanced bitterness and subtle hop flavor to this brew that’s as black as the vacuum of space."
