Featuring noticeable sweetness, prominent fruity flavours and dry, coffee-like notes from the roasted barley, tropical stouts are also renowned for their flexibility in complementing a wide range of dishes from sweet to spicy in any kind of weather or climate. To give our version a unique twist, we are fermenting this brew using a special strain of Kveik ale yeast, originating in Lӕrdal, Norway. Like most Kveik yeasts, this single-strain isolate ferments fast and at higher temperatures and can add subtle pineapple and orchard fruit flavours and aromas to beer. We also added a small amount of Sabro and Azacca dry hops to accentuate notes of coconut and tropical fruit.

Pours with bigly foam on a medium coppery brown body. Soft sharp macchiato coffee aroma, slight biscuit and pumpernickel. Flavour is good biscuit and slight molasses, sadly a little too watery. Adequate but rather uninteresting.

473mL can, pours black with a medium beige head. Nose brings out lots of bready malt with maybe a touch of faded coffee. Flavour is a little more interesting, with bready malt, some gentle fruitiness, and a touch roast. Very bready and gently fruity finish. It's alright, but pretty meh overall.
