Can. Pours black with a thick tan head. Aroma is chocolate, coffee, light roast aromas, nutty, nice dark malt complexity. Medium body. Flavour is very smooth, lovely dark malt complexity with lots of chocolate malt. Chocolate, coffee, cacao, creamy and smooth chocolate milk. A very smooth export stout which showcases a nice malt complexity. Well done and a good reminder that simplicity can be delicious.
