Inbound Black Is Beautiful Stout.
5 % ABV, 29 IBU. Inbound BrewCo., Minneapolis, MN.
Full ebony appearance, completely opaque, slim ring of espresso-tinged head on top.
In the nose: Cocoa and cream, with a side of coffee. Creamy and mild.
In the mouth: Smooth and slightly sweet. Low bitterness. Malt-forward, full-body, well-balanced, and easy-going. Nicely roasted, with generous chocolate flavors. Finely developed, and quite tasty. Yum, one might say, a dum dum.
I bought this in mid-August and had the first three relatively quickly. The fourth waiting it's turn in the cooler for a month and a half. Shame on me.
We brewed this collaboration recipe with a grain bill that's full of body along with a heap of carafa, roasted, and chocolate malts for a rich flavor. The result is a full-body, full-flavor stout that is still wonderfully sessionable.

I was hoping for “Stygian”.
It must have been a comic book writer who instilled that word into my brain. Stan Lee, maybe?
