Toast to your dark side with this Nitro Coffee Stout from Collective Arts and Milton’s Third Moon Brewing. This beer bridges bold espresso roast with subtle sweetness, offering mellow bitterness that lingers just long enough to invite another sip. We’ve added decadent toffee notes to complement the warmth of toasted nuts in this highly sessionable, dark brew

A good base beer and fun to have on nitro, but also to share, as not complex. Decent to sample from. Good as a regular stout, rather too plain for an imperial.

Single 16 ounce can with 404 ml volume (I gather volume something to do with the nitro).
Pours out a dark murky brown that gives that impressive nitro effect of rapidly rising bubbles leaving a black liquid under a creamy dark tan head.
Nose has a big hit of roasty coffee, a touch of nuttiness, chocolate.
Taste follows with roasty coffee - nutty, dark chocolate - moderate bitterness.
Creamy medium mouthfeel - smooth, but frankly I think I would have preferred carbonation, but this is a personal preference - rarely a big nitro fan.
