Pitch-black, low-ABV stout heightened with autumnal spices and lactose for a smooth creamy finish.
Smooth coffee gives way to a wave of autumnal comfort - cinnamon, clove and nutmeg, before a sweet, creamy finish.
Ya basic! It's the time of year for dark beers and strong, gimmicky coffees - so we combined the two in this pleasingly smooth and light stout.

On cask at the Hanging Bat. Appearance - close to opaque black but with some red chinks. Nose - coffee and chocolate but also with a blackberry or black cherry element. Taste - creamy blackberry and cherry again. Lingering dried fruit note. Coffee there but well integrated. Palate - creamy and medium bodied. Boozy edge but it all works. Overall - lovely stuff.
