This stout is dark, thick and scary. It was made with highly roasted malted barley, and plenty of it, to give the beer an uncommon richness and smoky, roasted depth…sort of like a hydraulic sandwich in a glass. Lagunitas brewery kept the potency, the richness, the hammer and the sickle, but tweaked the rest for the 20th century palette. Drink with the vast minority. This stout is paired well with Fabulous Frapples a la mode with frozen cinnamon vanilla yogurt.
