For Fig Sake! is a sumptuous, fruity stout. A hefty dose of fig purée in the boil unleashes decadent notes of honey, berries and Muscovado sugar. This is balanced by an addition of almonds during fermentation, delivering a nutty, caramel finish.

Can, small stable brown creamy bubbly head, opaque extremely dark brown colour, aroma of dried fig, metal, vanila, perfume and a hint of metal that disappears in time, flavor of vanila, dark bread and some dark chocolate, ashtray and hint, light noticable sourness, just a whiff of sweetness. Nice and interesting.
