When the Dukes of Dark Beer at Adroit Theory release a new rendition of their Negation Russian Imperial Stout, I can’t just sit around and twiddle my thumbs. I HAVE to have it!

The Virginia brewers are renowned for pushing the limits of how bold beer can be, and for having releases sell-out via pre-sales before they’re even finished brewing. 

And, let me tell you, Negation (Ghost 933) is so bold and craveworthy, I’m shocked we managed to get any!

With every motor oil-thick sip, formidable flavors of dark chocolate energized by splashes of blonde-roast coffee notes dominate the taste buds. Meanwhile, a boozy heat warms between subtle rucks of smooth caramel that punctuate the chewy pour. Allow the brew to rest a while, and the booziness diminishes as the caramel notes grow stronger.

The complexity of this 12% ABV colossus is impressive, to say the least. The lucky few Virginians who’ve tasted it rave that Negation is “Probably the best Stout I've ever had that didn't have a lot added to it.” Or, in other words, it’s “The kind of stout that keeps you coming back for more.”

Coming back for more won’t be an option unless you load up on plenty of Negation today. Adroit’s heavy-hitters like this one tend to disappear faster than shadows in darkness.
