Bikkelha'd
Amelandic for 'rock-hard', a name the stout earned from its powerful flavour. Deep dark with a fine head, it pairs roasted notes and coffee with a bitter core and a very slight sourness, and the finish stays bitter. Barley malt is the only grain in the recipe, joined by hops, coriander and yeast, at 6.5% ABV.
