◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted coffee and dark chocolate, both presenting with equal intensity and clarity. A secondary layer of stone fruit and subtle citrus emerges as the beer warms, counterbalancing the deeper malt character with a lifted, fruity dimension.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and creamy, delivering chocolate and malt sweetness upfront without cloying. The mid-palate develops tropical fruit notes from the hop character, building into a firm bitterness that remains refined rather than aggressive. The finish carries light citrus alongside the lingering roasted base.

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.
