Episode 142 - Darkness

Ah, you think Darkness is your ally? Well, it is! Anticipating this year's big release day, we drink a vertical-plus of Surly's special release Russian Imperial Stout, and we're briefly joined by head brewer Ben Smith to talk about what makes Darkness what it is. MC Johnsen sits in with us to help us make sense of these delectable beers and keep us from going too far off the rails. She succeeds in one of those, as we share some Darkness Lore, invent(?) chocolate Coke, describe Craig's wild gestures, and give tips on sneaking beer into the Olive Garden.
