Edinburgh Black
Roasted malts bring layers of rich coffee and bittersweet cocoa, with a subtle toasted note that lingers. Smooth and creamy, this dry stout pours deep and dark under a thick, velvety head. The aim: a Scottish answer to the world's most famous stout. 4.2 % ABV, 35 IBU. It is gluten free, and it is built for more roast and body than the usual pour.
