Dark Arts blends four malts and bags of whole hops to deliver a decadently deep and indulgent experience. A luxuriously smooth mouthfeel, is followed by spicy hop notes and full flavours of chocolate, liquorice, blackberries and figs. The finish is rich and satisfying with a lingering roasted bitterness. Our stout will convert you to the dark side.

330ml can. Pours black, nice sized beige head with plenty of retention and lacing. Aroma of roasted malts, coffee beans, dark chocolate. Taste follows nose, there is a moderate carbonation and slightly smooth mouthfeel. Finish has a long hoppy bitterness which combined with the roasted notes leaves a certain smokiness on the palate almost like I had just smoked 10 cigarettes. This is not unpleasant but I do feel the need to brush my teeth. Despite this Its a rich well made sipper of a stout and very nice.

Drucken på fat på Malmö Brewings Taproom. Stor kropp för alkoholstyrkan. Len och rund, mycket choklad och snäll beska. Bra balans och fin smakbild. Lättsippad. Gott

Zwart bier met mooie lichtbruine schuimkraag. Smaak is licht zoet en bitter met iets van chocolade en koffie. Heel licht romig in de mond.

Can from BBC Tescos, Reading. Brown-black with a yellow-tan. Nice frothy fizz and a rich mouthfeel. Starts off well with lots of chocolate and some black coffee. A hint of blackcurrant is also encouraging. But the finish is just to burnt and bitter for my tastes; acrid burnt malt, coffee grounds and a touch of plastic. Not for me this one.
