Mighty stout-like traits outduel India Pale Ale-styled dark-roasted hop char and mild pine-sapped dried fruiting for truly awesome Cascadian Dark. Creamy caramelized black malts and raw molasses bittering set up bittersweet black chocolate-roasted cocoa dryness. Ashen hazelnut-cola-walnut conflux rides below alongside modest black cherry, prune and pink grapefruit illusions. Dense malt-hop profile proves richer than many stylistic competitors.
