Pax Verum Brewing Dark Matter
What the brewers say
“Sweet stout with toasted coconut, coconut cream, and Madagascar vanilla.”
What our panel thought
“Sweet coconut lifts nicely from the glass. Vanilla notes add to the sweetness. Pleasant, moderately sweet and silky-smooth body with a long, soft finish. Balanced sweetness with just a hint of roasty bitterness on the finish.”
What our editors thought
“Low-key toasted sweetness in the aroma with nutty undertones and a floral vanilla top note. Rich but not sweet in the sip, satisfyingly drinkable while still a bit indulgent. A striking balance.”
