Out of the Dark
A full-bodied espresso martini stout with a rich espresso kick, soft bourbon vanilla and dark malts that taste of chocolate and coffee. Creamy and warming, it is built like the cocktail it is named for. Collision #12 and the last Craft Collision of the year, brewed with Bierol of Austria; 9.5% ABV. Jopen calls it pure liquid comfort.
