2 Halfs Deep Space

In Italy, some people drink a roasted barley drink called caffe d’orzo (literally "coffee of barley") in place of coffee, since it carries a robust roastiness similar to coffee, but without the caffeine.

Deep Space Foreign Extra Stout gives me big caffe d’orzo vibes. Alongside this aromatic coffee-like roastiness is a sweet dark chocolate filled with gooey caramel, all wrapped up in a thick, textured body. And while there are no smoked malts in Deep Space, there’s a slight ashy bitterness in the finish to add depth.

As the kids these days would say: it’s so extra.
