Slow Life
Slow Life is a nitro stout of 4.5% that is all about malt, nuance and balance. The grist is simple: floor-malted pale, brown, aromatic and chocolate varieties, with a small dose of Columbus hops in the boil. Roasty, bready coffee notes meet a soft sweetness from the grain, and a firm bitterness balances the whole. The nitrogen gives a creamy texture, and the finish carries a clear chocolate note. It is easy to drink and available all year.
