Mighty, bold, and black as night, our house stout has gained a reputation for being contagious among the locals. This is no dry Irish anything, rather a strapping American Double Stout with a sweet undertow and addictive hint of roasty goodness. The name honors this brewer’s affinity with literary arachnids – specifically Charlotte A. Cavatica, the eight-legged character from E.B. Whites’ Charlotte’s Web. Be forewarned, this beer will stain your clothes.

Can thanks to Lectvay. Pours inky black with normal sized foamy tan head, roasted malt aroma, medium carbonation, medium bitter burnt malt and coffee bean taste, faint alcohol undertones, medium bitter finish. Very well balanced for a high ABV.

Can. Pours a dark brown with medium tan head leaving sticky lacing along the glass. The aroma is chocolate and roast. Thin mouth, light roast, sweet chocolate, very good.

On tap at PreFunk. An extra dose of hops almost takes this into black IPA territory. Smooth and slick, slippery, oily. Small been he head, aroma is mostly roast grains and burnt toast. Taste kicks in with some hops bite, more roastiness.

Can from Bier Thirty. Pours very dark brown in color, nearly black. Topped with about a finger of creamy brown head. Nose is mild at first, I had to let this warm a bit before diving in, but it opens up to a heavy roast, espresso, smoke, and lightly sweet aroma. Strong taste, quite a bit of licorice, but not overly sweet. Heavy roast presence, even hints of burnt malt. Good smoky notes. Lingering bitters and espresso in the finish. Lots going on here, but seamless in transition. Very good stuff right here.

Thanks Gwen.
This was poured into a snifter.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a one finger off white foamy head that dissipated prettt quickly. Light lacing was soapy around the glass.
The smell had a really nice roasted coffee bean with a light smoky sweet vanilla.
The taste was roasty, smooth creamy vanilla with bitter coffee. It came across really nice.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium to heavy on the body. Sipper- definitely. The carbonation was there and good for the style and for me. But the roasty, smooth vanilla with coffee rolling across my tongue is really nice.
Overall, this was a really good imperial stout, wishing these guys would distribute up here.
