Descend into the underworld and pay the toll for flavors of chocolate, vanilla and roasted coffee and hints of caramel, plums and raisins. . This elixir is an attempt to resurrect The Ferryman from Orpheus Brewing. There will be no hazelnuts in this however... there will be cold brewed coffee and cacao nibs. This will be fermented with a Belgian Abbey yeast to boot!
