When brewing daredevils like us get together for a collaboration brew, we often want to spread our wings, reaching into the depths of our minds to come up with an idea for a beer that is ground-breaking. That’s how DareDevils Got Game was invented, a robust Imperial Stout complemented by hints of fresh-roasted coffee beans and the unique character of Italian black brewer’s licorice for a wonderful complexity great depth of flavor.

65 cl bottle @ Ruoholahti Beer Festival 2018
Aroma has licorice and bourbon. Flavour has licorice, some alcohol, soy sauce and mild coffee tones. Perhaps a bit straightforward and simple for the style but still works as a slow sipper.

650ml bottle @ Ruoholahti Beer Festival. Roasty, earthy and slightly stuffy with some coffee, licorice, hints of dark chocolate and oatmeal. A bit unbalanced and boozy.

Bottle from Beergium. Black with a small tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, some whisky and dark fruit. The same in the taste, also licorice. Smooth and nicely drinkable. Not that heavy.

Bomber. Brune foncée, col crémeux café au lait, dorée au verre. Arôme rappelant un bon bol de céréales, effluves de grains - surtout avoine bien présent, effet de concassés, café grillé avec petite note de réglisse en rétro. Amertume modéré arrive en rétro-nasal et accompagne un agréable effet de moka-café. Palais est malté, caramel, effet grains-avoine bien présent, fini sur léger côté grillé avec note de café. Épaisseur de bouche se marque bien, réglisse aussi présente et accompagne bien le caractère du café. Certaine douceur résiduelle arrive sur la fin.
