Roasted barley, rolled oats, chocolate & black malts combine to produce our Traditional Irish Stout brimming with flavour. The gentle coffee aroma is balanced wonderfully by rich hop flavours.

500 ml bottle, from KWM Wines & Spirits. ABV is 4.2%. Black colour, large to moderate beige head. Moderate aroma, roast malts and a little chocolate. Smooth mouthfeel. Smooth and pleasant flavour, fairly dry, roast malts and chocolate again, hints of mild coffee.
