Beers of the World country 168: Tonga 🇹🇴
"This is actually only the fourth stout being reviewed here on the blog. The other three are Sri Lanka, Israel and Malaysia. The beer is dark black in colour with a thin boozy dark brown lacing on top. It smells of coffee and chocolate. Mouthfeel is slightly thin due to the lower ABV. The taste is sweet and roasty with a hint of coconut. Some bitter roastiness towards the end before it finishes on the sweet note." - beersoftheworldproject.wordpress.com
