A Note on This Beer

“You would never guess it was 13.5% ABV.” @Bryan N

Leave it to the brewing ninjas at Adroit Theory to craft a huge Russian Imperial Stout that’s so velvety smooth and decadently dessert-like, it nearly masks its big, boozy, double-digit ABV!

They may have outdone even themselves with this bold, roasty sipper. Future You Hates You (Ghost 954) tastes like rich, bittersweet sipping chocolate, swirled straight into a freshly pulled dark-roast, double shot espresso!

Every thick-as-motor-oil mouthful balances a rich, brown-sugar maltiness, and an opulently full and smooth body. Notes of earthy tobacco and dark chocolate-covered coffee beans linger through the finish, making the booze nearly imperceptible.  

Imagine enjoying all this delicious darkness in a snifter in between bites of rich, vanilla-bean ice cream. Thirsty yet? How about going all out and pouring it straight on top of the whole sundae for a rich, Russian Stout affogato!

And, for the first time ever, we’re offering it to all you Stout fans outside the Mid-Atlantic.

*Adroit came up with this recipe in collaboration with their friends at Cushwa Brewing Co!

With Tavour, it's easy to beer it forward! Just head over to Tavour.com/gifts to send a gift box or gift card to the craft beer lover in your life. Cheers!

Very toasty, some sweet chocolate and coffee is present, very bitter with noticeable alcohol heat and a slight spicy flavor that works. Very beautifully done. First RIS I thoroughly enjoyed!

First beer from this brewery. What a treat!! These guys delivered a well balanced monster beer. My favorite part of the can art was the cigar and music pairings!!

Dreadfully dark. Beautifully crafted Russian Imperial Stout. This beer was an experience of layer upon layer of coffee, dark malts, chocolate, and a little boozy punch in the gullet. Buy 6 when they release ANYTHING! You are cheating your future self if you don’t, and your future you will hate you for it.

For a 13% the smooth flavor makes you forget how powerful it really is. This brewery can do no wrong.

Lots of roasted malt flavor with some bitter dark chocolate! Definitely can taste the booze though not as much as you'd expect from 13.5%!

Toasty and notes of chocolate and coffee. A bit too bitter for my palate though. I tend to like stouts that favor sweet. After a few more tastes some of the “bitter” may be the 13.5.....

Silky and extremely smooth. Slight notes of chocolate and coffee (in that order.) Careful with this one; it’s got 13%+ ABV.

Aroma of dark chocolate and roasted malt. Taste follows aroma along with some bitterness and light coffee notes. Alcohol is well hidden.

16oz can from Tavour. Ebony pour, ring of brown head. Aroma is deep roast malts, chocolate, licorice. Taste starts with the roasty malts, minor sweet notes, dark chocolate, cacao, anise and finishes with a bitterness and rising alcohol warmth. Slick, smooth, creamy. Winner!

Almost identical to the previous iteration I had (Ghost 948, I believe), except missing those cocoa nib and especially the coconut aspects that gave it a great depth of flavor. This is still just as enjoyable and crushable. Less bitter with less cocoa nib flavors, but definitely more chocolate throughout with a touch of toasted coffee flavors. A great and perfect yet different iteration of the Future You Hates You line.

No way this is 13.5%, bitter coffee and chocolate notes give way to a little maltiness. This is definitely the perfect beer to enjoy a cool night by the fire pit with
