About
Our story begins with a Bat. Instead of seeing the Bat as a symbol we should fear, we trusted our bat to be a symbol of re-birth, intuition, dreaming and vision. Bats are nurturing and in tune to the sensitivity of others within their group.

Bats are the Guardian of the Night. Bats are the symbol of the end of a way of life and the start of another. Trust your instincts, follow your bat. In 2010, like many others in Michigan, we lost our jobs. Both of us. At the same time. We had just welcomed our first baby into the world. The job market was terrible. Money was running out.

One night, a bat flew into our living room, what we now can see as a positive omen. It was shortly after that we scraped every last penny together and took a gamble on our dreams. Being unemployed and getting an SBA loan was hard, most said it would be impossible. We fought, and we made it.

We take pride in the craft we have a passion for. Being a gathering place and giving back is a huge part of who we are and a symbol of our gratitude for the community that embraces and supports us. Everything is connected.

Luck brought us our Bat and it is our mission to spread the symbol of the Bat onto you. Thank you for indulging in our dreams, sharing our visions and most of all, for keeping us happily employed.

From a shared bottle. Simple and straightforward, sweet, some honey and lots of blueberry with a nice dark blue color.

16 oz can from Witch's Hat. Canning date is hard to read, but definitely says 2024. Pours black with a tan head. Heavy cocoa, molasses, soy, and bourbon aroma, with some peanut butter, I think. Peanut butter comes through the strongest of the added ingredients in the flavor, with strong, syrupy molasses, cocoa, bourbon, vanilla. Coconut, I think, adds a bit of a lighter note to an otherwise heavy beer. Very good.

16 oz can from the brewery. Date is hard to read, but I think it's 08/08/24. Pours a clear, deep red amber with an off-white head. Sweet bourbon, molasses, and maple syrup in the aroma. Strong flavors, of course, with bourbon, maple syrup, soy, molasses, very sweet. Very much a heavy hitter.

Got 30 minutes to finish this before the lactase runs out 😬. Pretty good though, mild roasty-ness, plenty of molasses and chocolate notes. I feel like the cure for lactose will exist before some sort of cheap lactose detector exists. Thanks FlandersNed !

16 oz can, dated 6/27/24. I think I've avoided this one until now because the name made me think it was some kind of gluten-reduced beer, but apparently that's not the case? Anyway, this pours a moderately hazy yellow with a large white head. Aroma has citrus (orange, lemon, grapefruit), herbal/pine hops, tropical fruit. Flavor has the usual citrus and tropical mix of orange, grapefruit, mango. Medium palate with a clean finish. It's alright.
