| Description: | All the deep, roasty essence of a stout presented in a brilliant golden ale. Things aren't always as they seem, but not all deception is devious. Some illusions and misnomers lead to life's most delightful surprises. Case in point-this beer, the yang to the yin that is the black India pale ale. Once revolutionary for its onyx appearance, it is now an accepted and beloved member of the India pale ale family tree. Thus we took the spirit of a dark beer-the time-honored stout-and applied a similar science of thought, brewing it to be golden-hued. That is what this experimental series and its latest creation are all about. Cocoa and coffee beans impart roastiness sans darkening to this brew, while flakes oats provide an enveloping mouthfeel. The result is a stout that looks more like a blonde, but is a raven beauty at heart. 9.7%abv | |
