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.

On tap at Mikkeller Bar, pours black with a medium beige / tan head. Aroma of roasted coffee beans, cocoa powder, and moderate roast. Flavour of a cold cup of coffee, roasted malts, and some dry bitter cocoa powder. Quite full-bodied and dominated by coffee. Generic impie stout, but well-crafted. Good stuff.
