"Perfect blend" may be a bit of an exaggeration... while I enjoyed this beer quite a bit, downing the entire bomber proved to be a bit of a challenge. Vader is reaaaally coffee-forward. Very roasty, but I didn't get much of a hoppy "Cascadian Dark Ale" sense from this -- it was almost all coffee. That's not a bad thing, but in this case, I was a little overwhelmed.
