12 % ABV, Bear Republic Brewing, Healdsburg, CA.
Strictly ebony, complete opacity, brief head.
In the nose: ash, molasses, cocoa, a dose of coffee.
In the mouth: Massive malt. Deep, dark, roasted, slightly bitter, and altogether delicious. Mmm, this is a right on the money RIS. Got the goods. Burnt, bittersweet, and deadly. Richness upon richness, dark chocolate, espresso, brown sugar. All the goods.
This isn't the best of all RIS's, but it ain't bad. Go drink it.
Spawn of Yaga was inspired by the Russian folktale of Old Baba Yaga and her nefarious deeds. Deep, dark, and luscious layers of flavor were summoned through the play of light against dark caramel and roasted malts, nefarious use of blackstrap molasses, incantations of licorice root, and toiling over a boiling cauldron of invert syrup crafted in our brewery.
