Every chapter of our Little Black Book is a little different. This iteration of the evolving milk stout lands at a profoundly sessionable 5.2%. The body is smoother and creamier than ever too. Maybe Little Black Book is born with it; maybe it’s the mix of Maris Otter base malt and seven specialty grains. Who can say? The touch of lactose milk sugar certainly doesn’t hurt, though.
Pouring jet black, this little number boasts big notes of bittersweet chocolate with a hint of coffee, with a slightly more reserved roast than previous incarnations. And we’re excited to have Little Black Book back in cans for the first time in several years. Of course, you’ll still be able to find it on nitro at the brewery.

Roast and cream. Some coffee. Black pour with good mocha head and lacing. Light bitter end with a little milky lactose cloying sense at the end. Tap at brewery.

A deep dark stout with a thick collapsing brown head. In aroma, nice mix of chocolate with caramel, herbaceous coffee grind, light vanilla extract, very nice and pleasant. In mouth, a nice sweet fruity chocolate malt with coffee grind, light vanilla, alcohol warmth, nice and well made. Top notch brewery. On tap at WOB Reston.
