Black Swift Stout
Breakside's foreign / export stout — Scottish pale and chocolate malts, crystal 60 & 120, roast barley. Roasty and satiating without ever going sweet or heavy, enough body to feel serious, dry enough to keep pouring. Black Swift is Breakside's answer to what a year-round stout should be when the brewery doesn't want to lean pastry.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
