A Note on This Beer

Let it be known — if I don’t feel a sweet kick of caffeinated bliss by 9am, the claws come out!

At which point, there’s only one saving grace: an afternoon glass of Illuminated Brew Works’ velvety coffee Stout: Black Fang! Each smooth sip revives me with a treasure trove of creamy decadence, followed by waves of roasted espresso and notes of an icing-smothered cinnamon roll.

Brewed with heaps of Vietnamese cinnamon, lush cocoa, and a hefty dose of locally-sourced coffee beans, you’ll feel like you’re having that first luxurious taste of an expertly crafted, sweet foamy latte. 

And, if the coffee doesn’t knock you out of your seat, the enthusiasm craft-fans have towards Illuminated will! After blowing up in 2018, the Brewers Association named these Chicago brewmasters one of the nation’s FASTEST growing breweries! 

So, be sure to get your caffeine fix early — you’ll need plenty of energy to snag a few boast-worthy bottles before they disappear! 

*Brewed with coffee beans sourced directly from Chicago’s Dark Matter Coffee Co.

Strong coffee flavor on a nice stout base. Not sweet at all, but rich and a bit bitter.

Doesn’t taste like a 10%. Has the body of a lighter stout. Honestly with chocolate and dark matter coffee I wish it was better

The Vietnamese cinnamon tastes more like dirt and the coffee they used might be Foldgers...but the grounds left in the filter after brewing.
