This sweeter Russian Imperial Stout was conditioned on mounds of freshly roasted coffee and cacao nibs before being blended with maple syrup and a medley of pumpkin spices. The end result is a timely, decadent nightcap guaranteed to be the perfect finish to your Fall days.

My first Adroit Theory beer, these guys aren’t cheap and they caused controversy by releasing a set of beers glorifying serial killers. Adroit Theory What Evil Lurks Russian Imperial Stout 13.5% This RIS stout is made with coffee, cacao nibs, pumpkin spices and maple syrup! First off it smells great, like a chocolate pumpkin latte. Full bodied and rich, sweet pumpkin spices, cacao then maple sweetness before getting sweet pumpkin spice. Pretty good but it starts to get a bit too sweet as you keep drinking it… I’m glad I was able to source at least one imported pumpkin beer in Japan this year though.
