Look for Showstopper at your next Hult Center show – it’s the perfect theater sipper, if we do say so ourselves!

Cocoa, vanilla, and American oak. Finishes with some whiskey notes. Moderately to highly sweet. Balanced and nice.

Dark brown. Rich barrel, light tannin, chocolate, bitter, a little alcohol. Yeah that’s nice.

On tap at LL. Pours a pitch black hue with a small brown head. A huge sweet barrel nose. Massive sweet barrels, licorice, vanilla, roast, heat. Just awesome.
