◌ Aroma

Roasted barley and dark chocolate dominate the nose, with subtle coffee undertones and a light char character. The flaked barley contributes a grainy sweetness beneath the roasted notes. Hop aromatics remain restrained, allowing the Malz character to define the sensory profile.

◐ Taste

Entry is immediately dry and assertive, with roasted grain flavors coating the palate. The mid-palate reveals a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel that belies the light 3.9% ABV, supported by flaked barley's smooth texture. Bitterness from Cascade and Bravo hops provides balanced structure at 40 IBU, finishing with lingering coffee and cocoa.

Serve at 10–14°C

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
