🌍 Canada · White Stout · One of 2 White Stouts in hopIQ

A stout in flavour but not in colour: golden honey in the glass, with the roast character built from pale grain instead of dark malt. The nose opens on freshly baked brioche, then milk chocolate, coffee and vanilla. Vanilla bean and caramel give the palate a creamy weight, while cocoa shells and light-roast coffee beans set a gentle roasty counterpoint against it. The hopping stays subtle. It drinks velvety, and the finish is clean.
