Brewed with Dark Matter Coffee, Big Hugs lives in the in-between place found above everyday stout and comfortably below the decadence of extreme gravity dessert stout. An Imperial Drinking Stout mindfully groomed for pint glasses.

Can shared at Lucky Bamboo share. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of beige foam that lingers. Lots of roasted cacao nib in the nose with vanilla and coffee notes. Slick and oily palate with lactose slimy sweetness. More roasted malt, some vanilla sweetness as well. Lingering coffee and roasted malt on the finish.

22oz bottle scored via the BA Gang Bang BIF. Pours an oily, opaque black with a thin beige head. Big malty aroma, coffee, a little vanilla, toasted bread, licorice, chocolate. I find the nose to be very inviting. Flavor has some sweet coffee, cola, vanilla beans, malty, light chocolate, cake icing. Full bodied, sweet finish. Sweet but also tasty.
