Espresso Martini
The brewery's milk stout with dark roasted coffee beans added, at 4.5 % and in the range since 2017. Chocolate malt and lactose form the base, Challenger and Fuggles the hops. The brewery calls it super smooth; reviewers describe a strong espresso aroma with chocolate and a hint of vanilla, sweet lactose at first and a roasted, bitter finish in a fairly light body. It returns regularly on keg and in cans, is gluten free and contains milk sugar.
