This dry stout is a sibling of our imperial stout Secret Clubhouse. After cracking the can the aroma features dark chocolate or almost raw cocoa, smothered in light roast coffee and brown sugar. The first sip is similar to the aroma, rich dark chocolate, cold brew coffee, and roasty malt with mild bitterness. This medium bodied beer is easy drinking and a delightful lower abv addition to our otherwise hefty stout program. Featuring zero adjuncts really highlights the care and craft that went into this little Secret.

Mmm, I love my iced mocha first thing in the morning, especially at the South Boston parade. A secret only we know, indeed 👀

Can from Andover Classic Wines. Virtually opaque cola brown, light sparkle, quickly receding foamy head, light lacing. Aroma is earthy roasted malt and coffee over cocoa/baker's chocolate. Taste is strong roasted coffee and malts, late baker's chocolate. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation, lightly bitter finish as taste. Appreciate the non-adjuncted nature of this and decent strength, but don't love almost exclusive bitterness.

Can in a trade tfontana. Roast shows a nice bolder character. Some chocolate and mild char. Shows a underlying dark fruit character in the middle of the sip. Caramel. Good amount of flavor for the 5.5%. Drinks smooth.
