Expecting a “Cascadian Dark Ale” here. I don’t think so baby. This without question is a stout and it is a damn hoppy one at that! Utilizing Pale Ale malt as the base along with a small portion of 140 °L Caramel Malt from Chile and English Roasted Barley and Dark Chocolate malt the resulting medium bodied beer is rich and complex with notes of dark roasted coffee and baker’s chocolate. We used Warrior hops for bittering to contribute a clean crisp bitterness and a blend of Galaxy and Cascade for a blast of fresh flowery hop aroma in the whirlpool. After fermentation we hit this brew with a fresh dose of Centennial and Galaxy dry hops to infuse this dark ale with fresh aromas of citrus zest and pine. In our series of stouts this one has the highest level of both hop bitterness and aroma. Hopefully you get a chance to try one on cask, it is magical! A 2012 World Beer Cup Gold medal winner.

On tap at the Kedzie location. Pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a good amount of roast with coffee and a backing bitter chocolate note supported by grassy hops. Flavor has roasted malts and coffee with a really nice grassy hop note in the finish.

Enjoyed on tap at Goose Island Stout Fest 2012 in Chicago, IL. This was fantastic. Appearance is pitch black with a rich off white head. Aroma of strong yeast and hops presence, more hoppy than anything else, which was welcome after drinking a ton of dominating/un-hoppy beers. Taste equal parts hops and chocolate which is unique, taste its pretty good, tad bitter, but thoroughly enjoyable. Great stuff!
