Why would a brewery in the desert make a stout? Because we wanted to. But not the burnt, over roasted, puckering style. We needed something to go the distance in the heat so this one's a sessionable stout. Brewed with a wide range of malts responsible for contributing chocolate, toffee, coffee flavours and creating a smooth, velvety finish. Well balanced with a strong bitterness from early boil additions of Cascade hops. Goes down smooth and at 4.2% ABV, it’s not going to blow your thongs off...

Pours black with a large off-white lasting head.
Nose shows gentle roast and bready malt. A bit of cocoa too.
Flavours include dry roasted malt with cocoa and nutty notes, some toasty malt. Very moreish.

Sample courtesy of the Danish boys via Grumbo, cheers all! Dark brown colour with orange tinge, thin beige head and aroma of malt, chocolate, roasted. Taste is sweetish, malty, roasty with molasses, dried fruits, chocolate, coffee, and nutty bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying fruity roast bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

14/1/2023. Can at the Haderslebener tasting. Courtesy of Michael, cheers. Pours dark chestnut brown with a small frothy off-white to beige head. Good looking beer. Aroma of roasted malt, chocolate, nut, dark fruits. Moderate sweetness, medium roasted bitterness. Moderate body, oily and watery, average carbonation. Not bad but lacked some depth.
