Lesser Evil
Velvety dark chocolate, sweet-and-sour cherry, vanilla and creamy oats lead this thick, decadently smooth stout, with subtle roasted coffee notes and a satisfying dry finish. Cherry concentrate with a natural essence, cacao and vanilla go into the brew alongside malted barley, oats and wheat, and it is brewed to a true 0.5% ABV rather than stripped back from a bigger stout.
