Fungus Rock
Fungus Rock is the limestone islet at the entrance of Dwejra Bay on Gozo, whose Malta Fungus plant the Knights prized for its medicinal powers. The hoppy stout shows aromas of green coffee beans, fresh walnuts, roasted barley and subtle chocolate. Despite its dark colour it feels nimble, finishing dry and bitter with a light acidity. 5.6% ABV, 35 IBU.
