Black Is Beautiful Imperial Stout

Tonight I enjoyed a wonderfully imperial stout from Community Beer Works here in Buffalo NY. It was dark, smooth and delicious and lived up to its name Black Is Beautiful.  It was a Happy Solstice beer too.

Black Is Beautiful is a collaborative effort among craft brewers and customers to bring awareness of the injustices that people of color face every day. 100% of the proceeds of these beers support organizations working on police brutality reform. 

I realized this when I went to check this beer into Untappd and discovered the many beers going by the Black Is Beautiful. Most were imperial stouts that were celebrating the many shades of darkness of those beers.

Another nice thing about it was the home delivery. This was a gift from Sean and Ashley and included a pint four pack of Black Is Beautiful and a pint four pack of Cranberry Let's Go Pils for Becky. A nice and thoughtful gift.

The photo here also includes one of the cookbooks I got Becky for Christmas. She had been going online to the King Arthur Flour site for recipes so when I was looking at cookie baking books I came across the King Arthur Flour Cookie Companion. This was a no brainer.
