BalaSmooth and creamy on the pour, with roasted malt depth and notes of chocolate and coffee, Rook is a stout that feels comfortingly familiar yet crafted with the balance and precision that makes every pint stand out.
Named after the rook - often seen as the guardian of the farmland - this is a beer made for gathering together, sharing stories, and savouring a pint in good company.

Can from Oban Beer Seller. It pours dark brown to black with a decent beige head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, charred, umami, salty liquorice, coffee grounds, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, malt loaf and molasses. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, charred, burnt toast, umami, liquorice, ashy, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, espresso coffee, light acidity, cracked black pepper and tar with a bitter, dark roasted finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Inspected.a bit more support from the nitro carbonation, maybe the keg version would.be better. Decent, if a touch too charred and ashy.
