Pure Project Meditative Moment

What the brewers say

“Imperial stout infused with organic coffee, vanilla beans, and cacao.”

What our panel thought

“Notes of roasted coffee, dried fruits, vanilla, dark chocolate, and blackberry create a compelling nose. In the sip, fudgy chocolate gives way to a blackberry tartness that is quickly supplanted by a roasted-coffee bitterness.”

What our editors thought

“Subtle coffee in the aroma with just a touch of pepper, light chocolate, and a floral vanilla note. Silky and rich in the flavor with billowing chocolate and vanilla highlights, smoothly refined and cohesive.”
