HOPIQ TAKE

Indeed Midnight Ryder if you want a leaner, more drinkable stout, Toit Stout if you want something with a bit more weight and richness. Both sit at nearly identical specs—6% and 6.5% ABV, both 45 IBUs—so the difference lives in the malt profile and how each brewery interprets the American Stout format. Indeed's version feels like it's built for repeatability; Toit's feels built for lingering.

TASTING NOTES

Indeed Midnight Ryder

RoastedChocolateCoffee

Midnight Ryder has this crisp, almost coffee-shop quality to it—roasted grain without the heaviness you might expect. There's a dryness on the finish that keeps you coming back for another sip instead of sitting with it. The body is trim for a stout; you're not fighting through thickness. It reads more like a well-made session stout than a heavyweight.

Toit Stout

RoastedChocolateRich

Toit's stout has substance. You feel the grain bill immediately—there's a creamy mouthfeel that suggests more complexity in the malt backbone, even at the same ABV. Cocoa and a subtle sweetness linger where Midnight Ryder cuts clean. It's the kind of stout you nurse and notice new things in with each sip rather than knock back.
