Basaltic Plains
A classic dry stout at 4.5% ABV where malt takes centre stage: roasted barley and brown malt give a black colour and smooth, rich chocolate and coffee flavour with a dry, moreish finish. Heritage British hops provide the bitterness and a slight herbal note. A roasted, lightly sweet nose leads to dark chocolate and roasted coffee and a dry, roasty finish.
