A Note on This Beer

Today’s beer makes me think of a bunch of mad scientists in a laboratory, laughing maniacally as they reanimate some depraved abomination to showcase their evil genius.

Maybe I’m letting my imagination run away with me, but just one sip of today’s Black Science 4.0 has me convinced that the folks at Adroit Theory have gone mad with brewing power. 

They’ve blended not one, not two, but THREE different beers to brew this powerful potion!

Adroit expertly combines Aged Barleywine, Stout, and a Belgian Quad in a cuvée style — a blending term usually reserved for fine wines. Then, they bottle-condition it with Cubano roast coffee, hazelnuts, toasted coconut, and bourbon aged honey. 

As if that wasn’t enough, this marvel of scientific achievement comes with a massive 15% ABV! 

You’ll definitely want to get your hands on the thick, sophisticated concoction that fans call “way too easy drinking for 15%.” The lucky few who’ve tried it since it’s recent release have already rated it an astronomical 4.50 on Untappd! 

So, grab a bottle to share with your buddy, or sip it slowly out of a goblet while you dream up your own genius invention — goodness knows it’ll make you feel powerful enough!

*Adroit Theory was recognized at the 2019 Best of Northern Virginia Awards.

I didn't really care for this one but I still recognize & understand why people would enjoy this. It's a cuvee of different styles but the scotch ale part overpowered the flavors for me & scotch ales are not my favorite

Superbly subtle coffee taste. An almost earthy bitterness that was delicious. And I loved the feel; heavy and thick in a really good way

Tastes as though dark chocolate fudge had been melted down and mixed into a cup of perfectly brewed dark roast coffee. I know it's cliche to say, but I would rate this higher than 5 stars if I could. Incredibly happy with this beer.

One of the best stouts I've had. Tasted almost like alcoholic liquid chocolate with a hint of coffee. It was awesome.

Wow. Super rich. Deep flavors that meld seamlessly. Well balanced. Not as boozy as I expected. Some minor notes of toffee, date, and raisin, but mostly just the unique blended flavor of this beer.

It is not as thick as I’d imagine, toasty sweetness Shared with 4 people and glad I did You don’t notice up front how strong. It hits strong after some sips

This is fantastic! Thick and rich, but each flavour separates out so nicely. Mild bitterness and a smooth aftertaste. Excellent!

1st note.....this is 15%? OMG you don't get that in the sip. So smooth, so well blended. Yes all the dark flavors of these styles are there, but this is magic. A beer with more punch than Darkness and Darklord. And it still has great carbonation to it. Hard to get in a beer with such high ABV. What a treat!

Aromas of coffee, chocolate, and bourbon predominate. Up front notes of coffee, moves into barrel-aged stout with milk chocolate sweetness. The finish is where the quad in the blend kicks in, sweet dark fruits from the Belgian influence. Exquisite.
