You have the freedom to be bold. Our Independence Stout is an intense dark ale that encompasses a range of rich and complex flavor profiles. The malts, fruit esters, hops, and alcohol are harmoniously in balance. Not for the faint of heart due to its aggressive nature and high alcohol content, therefore this beer is to be savored and respected.

Black with a tan head. Aroma is dark roasted malts, some burnt notes, light sweetness from caramel. Medium to full body with somewhat aggressive carbonation. Flavor is similar to the aroma. Not a sweet stout, more dry and brash. Finish is long and a little rough around the edges. It hits hard. I dig this.
