Fiction Beer Company continues to strive for new and interesting flavors with their Adventure and Fantasy Series beers. Just released, Malice and Darkness, is their take on a Russian Imperial Stout inspired by Sergei Lukyanenko’s Night Watch. Bold, distinct, full bodied, smooth, chocolaty and roasty; Malice and Darkness sets a new standard in Colorado for a Russian Imperial Stout. A style made by few but loved by many. The Fiction Beer interpretation weighs in at a clean 14% ABV with no perceivable alcohol heat. An opaque black beer, dark as night, with a rich brown head made of very tight and tiny bubbles. The sight of the beer gives way to a deep roasty aroma full of coffee and chocolate depth. The first sip is full, decedent, and balanced by 99 IBU’s. What follows next is a craving for your next sip so you may taste the many subtle complexities. The beer style was originally made for Russian Royalty and you will know why once you have your taste!
