What Our Editors Thought
“Light chocolate, faint smoke, roast—soft yet characterful aroma. Chocolate takes the flavor spotlight, with light bitterness and soft, thorough body that supports the flavor. Tightly balanced.”
What Our Panel Thought
“Pleasant chocolate-roast aroma; coffee, toast, hints of pine and earthy hop; just a touch of char/ash. Light body, but not light on flavor—well-integrated chocolate, roast, coffee; very low esters. Leans into roast bitterness, lacking the aroma’s nuance, yet easily drinkable.”
What the Brewers Say
“I call this a ‘petite stout.’ It’s brewed to a lower strength compared to the dry Irish stout.”
