◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes, layered with subtle fudge sweetness and caramel undertones. These aromas remain balanced and inviting, showing no sharp edges or harsh roast character. The overall impression is one of restrained indulgence rather than cloying richness.

◐ Taste

Entry brings smooth chocolate milk character with integrated roasted malt backbone. The mid-palate develops coffee bitterness and cocoa depth without becoming astringent. At 40 IBU, the bitterness provides structure and prevents sweetness from dominating, though residual caramel notes remain present throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is moderate in length, trailing with lingering fudge and caramel impressions that gradually fade. No harsh alcohol heat or thin watering-out occurs despite the minimal ABV.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

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.
