The Unbearable Lightness of Being
A double stout at 11.9 percent, brewed in the American manner: roasty and creamy, with oats and sugar in the grist. The name comes from Kundera, and Dageraad plays with his eternal return — this stout existed before, and it will recur. A beer for one evening, not for a round.
