This beer makes a watertight case for justifying the use of the word 'culinary' in beer reviewing. The dizzying additional ingredient list for this heavy American stout reads more like a grocery shopping list for a decadent and complex mole sauce than a beer. Traditionalist will baulk and headache about this creation - their loss. This ambrosia moment stout has the deep viscosity of crude oil and the seductive taste and aroma of a thousand luxury chocolate desserts - a beer to be applauded, shared and savored.
