Great Lakes Brewery

Stout·Canada·4.3% ABV·One of 153 Stouts in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Great Lakes Stout's coffee and chocolate character. Pours close to black with a silky sheen. Chocolate and lightly roasted coffee beans in the aroma. Despite the colour the body stays light and the finish comes out dry rather than heavy or sweet. Creamy in the mouth, with the roast character holding back noticeably. Brewed as a dry stout at session strength, with wheat alongside barley malt in the grist.
