Give yourself to the dark side and allow yourself to be beckoned towards this velvety, silky stout seducer. This dark, devilish enticer has a rich, deep character that packs a chocolatey and nutty hit. Be careful because when you do succumb, it’ll disarm you with its complex flavours swirled up by the moreish malty layers.
Aroma: Roasted coffee, warmed dark chocolate.
Flavour: Black treacle, nuts toasted on the fire, toffee, dark chocolate ganache.
