Empowered Stout is a complex full bodied English sweet stout. This beer gets its malty complexity and colour from a combination of five different malts and two hop varieties. Coffee, dark chocolate, dried fruit, raisins and licorice in the aroma with detectable sweetness balanced by the bitterness derived from the hops and roasted malts. This beer is best enjoyed at around 11°C and pairs well with meat dishes or dark chocolate.

Tasting session with Višnja 666 and Pilot Goran in the summer of 2017. Black, small tan head. Roasty, chocolate, black olives. Sweet, aromatic, roasty, wood. Light body, moderate to high carbonation, moderately lasting finish. Very nice.

Bottle claims only 5.2 % ABV Shortlived, off-white head over deep oak/woodstainer-brown beer. Rainwater, coffee, bit mineral saltiness, maybe some DMS. Light, tasteful stoutflavours, with coffee and mocha. Faint cocoapowder, dried green herbs. Ashes retronasal. Light to medium bodied, quite slick. Very nice light stout. Many thanks to Mathieu!

Dark brown with a thin head. The aroma is fudgey, slightly nutty. Taste is fudgey, but it gets thin and bland towards the finish.

Bottled, thanks jolo! Hazy dark brown, small head. Rich chocolate and toffee aroma. Medium bodied with rounded mouthfeel. Milk chocolate and caramel. Low bitterness. A laid back mild stout.
