Black pour, big frothy beige head. Very roasty Aroma, lots of dark chocolate, and dark espresso. Silky smooth mouth feel, and a soft carb. The finish is again very roasty, hints if bitter cocoa, espresso and soy. Doesn’t drink like it’s only 4.5%. Incredibley intense flavours in such a low alcohol stout.
