Broken Clock Black is Beautiful Imperial Stout.
10 % ABV. 71 IBU.
Broken Clock Brewing Cooperative, Minneapolis, MN.
This malt beverage was produced by Broken Clock Cooperative, Minneapolis, MN. Brewed to support justice and equality for people of color.
Concentrated blackness in the color, complete opacity, rich brown head above. Looking very good.
In the nose: Coffee hits first, rich and earthy, deep and dirty. Alarmingly large roast. Some cocoa below.
In the mouth: Coffee, again, is king. So much is dwarfs all else. Big malt is below, and chocolate notes, too, but there's not dispute about what flavor remains in charge. Bright, bold, brash, and beautiful....so much malty, coffee goodness just popping on the palate.
Yes, Black is Beautiful. Everyone knows that it is. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. "But, no! All colors are beautiful!" Well, teal is terrific, and pink is pretty, and vermillion is very nice, but now is the time to say it loud and proud, as if it's never been time, it's always been time, and for fuck's sake, will always be time to remind everyone of the fact.
This beer, though, is also beautiful. It's everything you want to be!
Also, Black Lives Matter, as if you didn't know.
We started with an amazing base recipe developed by our friends at Weathered Souls Brewing Company and added Mocha Java cold brew from Gus Dean Coffee. It’s Big, Bold, Roasty, and full of flavor. Notes of dark chocolate and coffee are prevalent, with hints of berry.
