A Note on This Beer

What flavors will YOU taste when you try your first sip of today’s Stout?

Chicagoland drinkers are hotly debating just what went into (and what they get out of) each glass of this toasty, rich brew.

@Timothy O. posits: “I think there’s some oaky notes. Vanilla, dark chocolate even. Smooth and so easy for the 12% ABV.”

Meanwhile, @Nick B. has a hypothesis of his own: “Sweet fruits, maybe a touch of maple syrup? Smoothness and creamy goodness, for sure.”

Only Victoria seemed to dig into the fine print before taking the plunge, understanding just what makes this dark brew so special:

“I’m shocked there’s no adjuncts in here. So creamy, so smooth. Yum.” 

That’s right. Just pure, unadulterated malt goodness in a pitch black Stout, made with dexterous skill and painstaking craft. 

You’d swear the brewers added loads of chocolate or dessert-y, gooey adjuncts! But, that’s just well-roasted, expertly brewed dark beer with mocha notes and a touch of charred oak that Chicago-based fans love.

When you try your can of Accident at Hubbard’s Cove, clear your mind and think about what you’re tasting. Or, better yet, give your buddies a taste and ask them what they think is in it. They might not believe you when you tell them it’s all malt!

Forbes lists Hubbard’s Cove as one of the Best Breweries in Chicago!

Sweet, slightly boozy, with good body, but I wish it had a little more carbonation to give it a crisper bite.

The Hubbard Cave beers are just too sweet for my taste. Do not let this one warm up after you pour it up.

I think I just can't get into Hubbard's Cave beers. I have remains hopeful but they are my lowest rates brewery. then tend to be on the sweet side and I can't get over it. this one has a bitter stout flavor but more on the burnt side. then the sweetened his hard I think trying to cover the bitter. this might be my last visit to the cave.

Sweet, chocolate, vanilla, dark/dried fruit and smoke - especially in the aftertaste, not strong or overpowering but present. Better than I expected and hides the booze well.

A bit too sweet and sticky for my liking, but it was OK. Does not age well, as I only waited a few months. It certainly masked the booze well.

Pours a nice deep black, has a nice aftertaste and subtle sweetness with a light hint of chocolate and vanilla. Wonderfully balanced stout can’t wait to try this again.

RIS aroma with a hint of prunes, very sweet stone fruit taste with chocolate notes, thin mouthfeel, and warming alcohol finish.
