Dark Arts Espresso

SOMA Caffeinated Stout · Caffeinated Coffee Stout

Dark Arts Espresso is the Dark Arts you know — roasted barley, chocolate malt, that velvet pour — brewed with cold-brew coffee, so the espresso on the nose is real coffee and the caffeine is real too. It is the can for the early start and the late night that used to mean a third espresso. Non-alcoholic, under 0.5% ABV, and the only SOMA that contains caffeine; the amount per can will be printed on the label.

What’s a Caffeinated Coffee Stout?

A coffee stout takes the roasted-barley depth of a stout and adds actual coffee, so the espresso on the nose is coffee and not just grain pushed dark. Ours is brewed with cold-brew, which means it also carries caffeine — the only SOMA that does. Everything else is Dark Arts: near-black pour, tan head, velvet body, under 0.5% ABV.

Brewer’s Notes

Roasted barley, chocolate malt, Fuggle hops, cold-brew coffee. Fermented with a maltose-negative yeast; alcohol never exceeds 0.5% ABV.

01

Brewed for real

Real malt, real hops, real water, and a real fermentation. Mash, boil, and yeast doing the work, exactly like the beer it is.

02

Maltose-negative yeast

Our yeast cannot eat maltose, the main sugar in wort. It ferments the simple sugars, builds the esters and depth, and leaves the alcohol under 0.5% ABV.

03

Pasteurized & lab-tested

Every batch is pasteurized and tested to verify <0.5% ABV, plus microbiological safety and taste consistency.

Questions, answered straight

Is this actually beer?

Yes. SOMA is brewed like any craft beer: water, malted barley, hops, yeast, a real mash, a real boil, a real fermentation. The yeast is the difference. It is a maltose-negative strain that cannot eat the main sugar in wort, so it builds the flavor of a fermented beer and leaves the alcohol under 0.5% ABV. It's beer that went through fermentation, not a malt-flavored soft drink.

How do you keep the alcohol under 0.5%?

With the yeast. A maltose-negative brewer's yeast ferments the simple sugars in the wort but cannot eat maltose, the main one, so it runs out of food before the alcohol ever gets going. Every batch is pasteurized and lab-tested under 0.5% ABV.

Is <0.5% ABV really non-alcoholic?

Under Indian food standards (FSSAI), yes — SOMA is a non-alcoholic beverage at under 0.5% ABV. For scale, a ripe banana has more alcohol than a can of SOMA. Every batch is lab-tested to verify it.

When will my order ship?

Everything on sale today is a pre-order. Production starts after December 2026, so nothing ships before then — we email your delivery window before the first batch moves, and you can cancel for a full refund any time before dispatch. Once we are shipping, delivery across Bangalore is a flat ₹29.

Which SOMA has caffeine?

Only Dark Arts Espresso, the caffeinated stout — it is brewed with cold-brew coffee, and the caffeine figure per can will be printed on its label. Every other SOMA, the regular Dark Arts included, is caffeine-free.

Why is it 18+?

SOMA is a beer in every sense but the alcohol, and we market it the way beer should be marketed: to adults, full stop.
