Blackout
Blackout is an Irish stout with a dark colour and a creamy head. The aroma brings coffee, chocolate and cocoa beans. In the mouth come coffee notes, then roasted and pronounced chocolate tones in the finish. The grist includes roasted barley, chocolate wheat and Carafa III next to Pilsner, Munich and pale ale malts, with Brewer's Gold as the hop.
