Vital Statistics
From the brewer
Brace yourself. The latest release in our Hop Kitchen series crafts the best of the brewing worlds with one of the most brawny, bitter beers in New Belgium history. Eight different grains converge for a deep blend of dark chocolate, roasted coffee and toasted bread, while generous additions of six hop varieties, like Equinox, Chinook and Willamette, accent the richness with citrusy, woodsy pops. Just as you get lost in Hop Stout's malty depth, a wicked rush of bitterness attacks with the combined force of an imperial stout and IPA. It's not for the faint of heart, but it is for malt and hop lovers alike.

Unappealing, murky light color. Flavor is a mix of medium-heavy roast, chocolate, and a very round hop flavor. In fact, I'd have called this a straight CDA if not for the amount of roast on the flavor. Anyway, not really my style.
