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, the long drive, 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 figure per can is 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.

Questions, answered straight

Is this actually beer?

Yes. SOMA is brewed like any craft beer — water, malted barley, hops, yeast, a full-strength fermentation. Then we remove the alcohol by vacuum distillation. It's beer that went through fermentation, not a malt-flavored soft drink.

How do you get the alcohol out?

Vacuum distillation. Lowering the pressure lowers alcohol's boiling point, so we can pull it out gently at 35–40°C instead of cooking the beer. The alcohol leaves; most of the flavor stays.

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, Bangalore first, 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 is 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.
