When we team up with J. Wakefield Brewing to brew a stout, the results tend to be favorites in our catalog. From the rich, dessert-inspired Affogato and Tiramisu to the complex Spanish cedar-aged Haunted Fields, we've used real adjuncts and oak to coax out intense flavor. For our latest collaboration, we've stripped all of that back to present a vicious Imperial Stout inspired by a blend of J. Wakefield's La Nada and our own base recipe for PM Dawn.
La Rien à Nuit, or "The Nothing at Night", presents a menacingly opaque, jet black with a tawny-colored head. The intricate aroma highlights an array of specialty dark malts, with notes of dark chocolate, freshly-roasted coffee, molasses, and toffee with a caramel drizzle. As the glass warms, a creamy vanilla profile is uncovered, rounding out each sip with just the right amount of welcomed sweetness. Medium-bodied with a decadent long finish, La Rien à Nuit is built for the long and dark winter nights in New England.
