Big Hugs deep, dark chocolate character immediately please the nose and palate. This big coffee infused American Double Stout has an almost cooling dairy texture, bolstering and drawing together the gourmet chocolate box flavors of bitter cocoa, jam-y black fruit, espresso and butter cream fondant. The finish is long, shadowy and quite dry. The dryness is a nice counterpoint to all the desserty bittersweetness that dominate the bulk of beer. All in all, a very nice weighty stout from a noteworthy new Chicago brewery.
