Live long and drink Cosmic Ristretto. This highly revered brew will go down in history as one of the first graduates of our Genius Lab program into our front line. Marvel at its rich black appearance with bruleed edges and mocha-colored beer foam. Breathe in its coffee aroma and sweet malts, and savor its smooth, espresso, chocolate flavor. Don’t fight its gravitational pull. This bold, complex, java-centric Baltic Porter with Espresso is irresistible. Houston, we have a problem, my glass is empty.

CBC Session 3. Opaque black - brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is smooth and light. Very modest fine carbonation. Mellow smooth espresso with a nice touch of light malt cream. Mild dried fruits provide another dimension. Finishes light and dry. Well joined up and tasty.
