Lovely nitro pour. Caramel and biscuit notes, a little sweet but finishes slightly bitter. A bit thin of flavor.

Can at home. Hazy murky yellow color, full sized white head. Aroma is malts, hops, don't really get specifics. Flavor is malts, hops, softly bitter, softly fruity. Medium body and carbonation. Not bad, but nothing too special either.

330ml can. Pours black with a very fine, nitro like, deep tan head. Aroma is dark malts & coffee. Beer is dry but smooth with similar dark malt & coffee flavours. Very easy to drink, hint of hop bitterness but way less than Guinness. Good texture and mouthfeel for a low ABV stout.
Really rather good.
