Flat White

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black in color, with an opaque body characteristic of the style. A dense, tan head forms readily and persists across the glass, leaving clean sheets of lacing as you drink. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the creamy visual texture.

◌ Aroma

Real espresso dominates the nose, bringing roasted coffee grounds and a subtle earthiness to the forefront. Supporting layers of cocoa and dark chocolate emerge beneath, with a hint of toasted grain and dry roasted barley that anchors the profile. The hop character remains restrained, allowing the coffee and malt complexity to lead.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced coffee and chocolate notes that mirror the aroma, complemented by a velvety, almost creamy mouthfeel from the oat adjunct and roasted malt base. Mid-palate reveals subtle dark fruit undertones and a gentle bitterness from East Kent Goldings and Fuggle hops, which lingers without dominating. The finish remains smooth and full-bodied, with the coffee character fading gradually into cocoa and malt sweetness.

◑ Finish

A medium-length, warming finish with lingering espresso and chocolate notes. The aftertaste remains smooth and slightly sweet, without harsh edges or excessive dryness.
