@glbc_cleveland Blackout Stout with my best buddy for #NYE
This is another one of my seasonal favorites. I look forward every year to getting the new year of Blackout Stout. There’s just something about it that makes me super happy. Dark and roasty with hints of dark chocolate and coffee. This beer is heavy but not hard to drink.
Bold and dark as a power-less metropolis, our Russian Imperial Stout commemorates the infamous 2003 blackout that briefly left some 55 million people utterly unplugged.

Pitch-dark and rich, kindled with black malt and roasted barley, and illuminated by flickers of bitter hops.
