This gorgeous golden ale may not look like the stouts you're used to, but its roasted chocolatey character is undeniable. We started with a base of nutty English Maris Otter malt together with oats and malted wheat to give this brew the silky-smooth mouthfeel of a classic stout. After fermentation, we added local coffee beans from Recluse Roasting Project and cacao nibs to impart rich, chocolatey, roasted flavors. We think it's the perfect companion for evenings on the patio as the fall weather slowly rolls in to Richmond.

12/11/2024. Can shared by SHIG, cheers! Pours clear pale gold with a small frothy white head. Aroma is grainy, malt, flowery, light herb, camp coffee, hint of nutty chocolate. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Moderate body, average carbonation. Interesting and likeable.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 16/10/24. Golden blonde with a decent off white cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is coffee grinds, vanilla, pale malts, biscuit, herb. Taste comprises stewed fruits, grains, light coffee, caramel wafer, biscuit. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Okay drop ... nothing I'd revisit.
