Darkness is Surly Brewing Co.'s cult Russian Imperial Stout, known for its impressive 12% ABV. Thick, nearly black, and rich, this stout delivers layers of chocolate, coffee, dried cherries, toffee flavors, and a subtle touch of aromatic hops - Warrior, Amarillo, and Simcoe.

The original version has a high original gravity and low bitterness, despite a full-bodied hop profile. On the palate, it features a creamy texture with notes of dark chocolate, roasted espresso, dried cherries, and raisins, finishing warm and juicy with a hint of sweetness and refined hop aroma.

Darkness is an excellent choice for lovers of full-bodied beers, complex aromas, and velvety texture - perfectly pairing with strong cheeses, dark chocolate, or simply enjoyed as a premium after-dinner sipping stout.
