Ladd & Lass Brewing Deprived of Light
What the brewers say
“Imperial stout with intense flavors of cacao, coconut, and vanilla.”
What our panel thought
“Rich vanilla aroma blends with hints of dark chocolate, caramel, coconut, and dried fruit. Chewy up front, with a semisweet chocolate profile balanced by coconut notes. Creamy finish with lingering layers of chocolate, nutmeg, vanilla, and fruitcake.”
What our editors thought
“A whiff of smoke blows off quickly, as toasty caramel and vanilla notes pull through. Sweet in the sip, but a creeping herbal bitterness balances without stealing the joy from the sweeter vanilla and caramel tones.”
