Sputnik was the first artificial Earth satellite that triggered the Space Race between the Soviets and USA back in the 1950s. Our tribute to the Russian Imperial Stout style orbits around the dark matter of rich chocolate, coffee, raisins and molasses. This is a beer that demands space and time. It travels the void between the accepted and the unearthly. Prepare for lift off.

Bottle from SB. Black with a lasting beige head. Roasted with dark chocolate, some rye bread, coffee and vanilla. Very light bitterness, very smooth. Fine carbonation, light for an imperial stout. Basically a well made imperial stout with Everything you expect of it. Solid but nothing exceptional.

Black color with a beige head. Ok intensity in the aroma. Full body and a soft carbonation level. Semi dry ending. Roast, toffee, chocolate and some licorice in the flavor. Nice evening sipper.

Bottle. Lovely label. Pitch black with a mid beige head, lacings. Aroma is gentle sweet, vanilla, ash, licorice, roasted notes. Taste is sweet vanilla up front, roasted notes, espresso, licorice, clear salmiak notes, close to salty, not too bitter, finishes long, dry with roasted notes, coffee, some bitterness. Very well balanced.
