Black House
Black House is an oatmeal stout brewed with coffee that the company roasts itself. Fresh coffee dominates the aroma, followed by dark chocolate and roasted grain. The flavour recalls chocolate-covered espresso beans without acrid or burnt edges, and the oats give a full, smooth body. It pours black with a thick mocha-coloured head and finishes dry, with a lingering roast.
