◌ Aroma

The nose is led by roasted grain and cocoa, with secondary notes of dark chocolate and toasted malt complexity. A subtle coffee undertone emerges on closer inspection, grounded in the beer's export-stout foundation. Hop bitterness remains restrained on the nose despite the 61 IBU specification.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with roasted malt and chocolate character, developing into a smooth, creamy mid-palate that belies the 7% ABV. Bittering hops arrive with deliberate presence, anchoring the sweetness without dominating. The finish carries lingering roast and a dry, malty undertone that invites another sip.

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.
