A Note on This Beer

When my sister suggested I explore therapy, I was hesitant at first. But now, I feel a little wiser after each session, because I’ve peeled back another layer of myself.

That sense of discovery reminds me of drinking Therapy Sessions (Ghost 984) from Adroit Theory. Each time I take a sip, I discover another layer of flavor in this intriguingly complex brew. 

This pleasantly smooth Russian Imperial Stout takes ‘decadence’ to the next level. As I open the can, a beguiling bouquet of rich dark chocolate, vanilla, and toasted caramel treats my senses. The pitch black pour is thick and velvety, enveloping my tongue in notes of roasted coffee, juicy figs, and vanilla-dusted chocolate truffles.

And, while it could be the 12% ABV, I’m somehow inspired to share all of my deepest secrets with this sipper.

It’s rare to see Adroit’s craft masterpieces outside of Virginia — in fact, they’re known for beers selling out in presales before they’ve even finished brewing! Which means, I’m especially lucky to have this limited release as my couch companion.

Will it also be yours?

This delicious Russian Imperial Stout deserves a 10/10. Full of robust yet refined flavors. The ABV is well disguised by the layers of decadent dark grains, malts, with a delicious full bodied aroma.

Definitely a Russian imperial, it's very good though. Like a more flavorful Old Rasputin, and the ABV is 12% so... can't complain.

The sweetest I’ve had from adroit theory and one of the sweetest stouts I’ve had without reaching a pastry stout. Chocolatey upfront with roast, spice and bitterness at the back end. Feels thick but very smooth. Overall a pretty tasty beer but doesn’t quite meet the standard adroit theory has set.

Aroma of coffee roastiness with light chocolate. Sweet malt up front that transitions into leathery, roasty, and smoky notes. Would pair quite well with a cigar.

I've tried alot of different stouts and this one is right up there with the best of them. Truly a 5 star beer i wish I would have ordered more of them. Its not to sweet and it doesn't taste super strong like some stouts. Its a perfect beer to sit and relax, watching a movie with the family. I couldn't recommend this beer enough. I actually planned a trip to Washington DC next year to visit the brewery cause I loved it so much.

Nothing that stands out as being different here. That said. It’s one of the best RIS’s I’ve had. Adroit knows how to take a standard beer and make it feel that it’s the highest quality.

Nice bitter aromas. Almost crushable, but you can tell that it has that distinct Russian Imperial Stout bitterness, which is almost always something you should sip. Lots of complex layers, but almost all very subtle. Allow this to warm up to really get more distinction between the layers. I guess they used the name “Session” to get drinkers to slow down and really enjoy this one. Makes sense since most Adroit Theory beers are so good you want to gulp it down, but definitely take your time to appreciate this one.
