Nocturne
An export stout with an aroma of coffee, chocolate and a hint of smoke, the last from a portion of smoked malt in the grist. On the palate espresso and dark chocolate dominate, backed by rich roast and caramel. The body is full and chewy, and the overall impression is intense and layered. At 6% it is the stronger of the brewery's two stouts.
