Impossibly reddish in color (due to the beets) with nitro cascade fading into a pink cap of stable foam, great clarity. Seeing the beer in the glass shows the obvious resemblance to a slice of red velvet cake (red cake on the bottom topped with a layer of creamy white frosting). But the similarities don’t end there. The aroma is dominated by chocolate with earthy notes of beets and subtle wafts of roast coco. The flavor is similar to the aroma but with faint roast and hop bitterness coming in at the end balance it out, not cloying or overly sweet. The mouthfeel is medium and the finish is luxuriously smooth. It’s dessert served in a pint glass!

Pours clear, bubbly copper with a thick and fairly persistent buff head. A stout? Yes - why must a stout always be coffee-brown? Aroma delivers chocolate, toasted malt, sweet cake, and subtle vegetable tones. Must be beets. Hey, I like beets, if I’m not wild about them. Flavor presents all that the aroma promises, adding woody and slightly bitter hops while upping the chocolate and beet components. Yes, this is indeed dessert in a pint glass. Smooth, firm body features zesty fizz. Dinner with a lich? Why not?
