Black Bite from Adroit Theory Brewing Company is a Russian Imperial Stout clocking in at 13.5% ABV. This Virginia-based brewery has built a reputation for experimental and complex dark beers, and Black Bite showcases that ambition. The beer marries smoky, roasted malt character with assertive hop bitterness that drives a dry finish.

Despite its substantial alcohol content, this stout drinks with surprising ease. The interplay between dark roasted malts and dank hop character creates compelling tension throughout. This is no casual session beer, but a serious, layered creation for those willing to explore darker, hoppy terrain.
