Named for the Russian space dog, Laika is a huge, chewy beast of a beer. Dark, rich and robust, it has a wonderful body and a flavor that has notes of chocolate, coffee and toffee. It is a fantastic dessert beer. It is part of our Right to Brew series, which we make in conjunction with local homebrewers, scaling up their recipes and producing them to help bring attention to the ongoing fight to legalize homebrewing in Alabama. In addition to the traditional version, we also have bourbon, cognac and Bordeaux barrel-aged versions of Laika.

My first visit to the brewery was met without this delightful concoction. Fortunately a second and third visit paid off, yet the beer was still a disappointment. It is coca-cola coloured, with a creamy brown film for a cap. Lacing is decent. Aroma is roasted coffee and dark chocolate up front with hints of vanilla in the back. Mouthfeel is full and creamy. Flavour is muted, there are hints of roasted malt and vanilla, and the finish is mildly bitter. I expected more from such a renowned stout.

Pours a deep sable only a flea’s eyebrow above jet black with a thick and rather persistent tan head. Rich aroma has coffee, semi-sweet chocolate, smoky malt, licorice, and subtle toffee notes. Flavor is even better, having everything from the aroma plus snips of caramel and molasses - and a weird waxy touch. Firm texture is quite fizzy, leaving a bold finish of caramel, mocha and molasses. Barking good!
