ABV: 9.5    IBU: 60

What's in a name? Uranus by any other name would smell so sweet. That was written many eons ago by Toftorg Golshop, Ruler of the Third Empire of Uranus on one of his many voyages to earth (it was stolen and re-written by "you know who" sometime later). And while on earth for one of those trips, Toftorg grew fond of the rich, robust stouts of Northern England. Designed to withstand the grueling intergalactic voyage from Earth to Uranus, "Long, Dark Voyage" is a Uranal Stout of the highest order. Ass puckeringly bitter and dry as a bone, this dark chocolate treat is quite dangerous and can sneak up on you from behind if you don't keep your wits about you. You've been warned!

Twin Pines is everything you love about Lone Pine but with double the pleasure. Huge mounds of hops are balanced perfectly with massive amounts of malt making Twin Pines Double IPA one dangerously delicious ale.

Spurning all hopeful on-lookers, you’d bite into that soft, chocolate coating and the delicious caramel center would just ooze out. Absolute lunchtime perfection.
