Canned 4/20/26, drunk 9/11/26.
Rich and syrupy hazelnut-laced fudge with a tasteful amount of roast. No wort, no excessive sugar, nothing weird going on here. Some earthiness matched against dark fruit and a bit of floral/herbal hop.
Very carbonated breaking up the near-syrupy body, but yet it's not cloying and the richness is appreciated for an NA stout which are usually over-roasted, seltzery things. Not this one; hazelnut, fudge, vinous notes and a soft, chewy, medium body. Easily one of, if not the, best NA stouts out there.

Pours mahogany tinged black into an English pint. Mocha head with good retention recedes leaving gloppy sheets. Milk chocolate and licorice aromas. Crisp with tart pit fruit, sourdough pumpernickel, licorice and anise front to back. Lasting dark chocolate and espresso finish.

Pours near black with an lingering off white head that laces well. Smells of roast malt and coffee. The flavor is of dark roast malt, chocolate, and coffee. The body is a little thin. Nice roasty finish but it seems too sweet.Thisbis good for a N/A while not being as good as I’d hoped.
