Black And White
Black And White is a chocolate and coconut stout at 5.8 %, brewed with Attic for the fifth edition of the Change is Brewing festival in Oxford. A large dose of cacao powder from Proof Social Bakehouse, the bakery run by Tap Social, goes into it. The beer is smooth, silky and medium-bodied, with coconut clearly present alongside the chocolate. It is available in cans and on draught.
