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.

Sample during the "Hoppin’ On Deck 2" tasting on 06/04/2017. Inky black color with some brown around the edges, and a thin beige head that recedes quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of roast coffee, malt and anise. Full-bodied with flavors of roasty coffee, fudge, black licorice and malt. The finish is roasty coffee and malt. Good beer all around.
