Tap at the hoppy pub stand at a food event in Thessalonniki / 30th of April 2017. Pours unclear blonde. OK white head. Smell is hoppy, bit malts. Taste is full, hoppy, somewhat juicy. Decently bitter, but doesn’t taste like fresh hops were being used here.

12 oz bottle poured. Much thanks to Greg for the bottle! Always a treat to try some fun, new stouts, A cola black pour with a lasting tan fizz head. A sturdy, bold roasted element to this one. Dark, toasted malt. Mostly bold, but has a slight sweet side to it as well. Hints of a cool, cream milk chocolate, but it’s definitely an afterthought with this stout. Very creamy, and gets better as it warms up. Solid stout here.
