Craft beer fans probably first experienced Surly Brewing's Russian Imperial Stout, Darkness, from a hefty, wax-dipped and painted 750ml bottle. The presentation is not unlike the rich, heavy, silky, roasty and complex stout that is found inside.

To get bottled Darkness these days you have to go straight to the source at the Brewery, but here at The Coffee Grounds we have been squirrelling away bottles of Darkness for you to get without leaving town! You will receive an email when your bottles are ready for pickup.
