Candi Stout is our fusion of a Belgian dark ale and a classic stout. A rich blend of roasted malts is blended with cocoa nibs and candi syrup (traditionally used in Belgian abbey ales) during brewing resulting in a wonderfully drinkable stout with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and a hint of sweetness. A surprisingly light mouthfeel and effervescent carbonation deliver a sessionable drinkability not often found in stouts today.

Pours a deep chocolate brown with a thick one and a half finger beige head atop,that settles nicely into a frothy mass after quite some time.Mild yeast phenols and dark roast coffee in the nose,not real big in the aroma department.The feel has a whipped 'airy' lightness to it wich is very nice.More earthy and roasted on the palate,there is some chocolate but it's of the dark bitter variety,very drinkable.The name might be a little misleading,there is candied sugar yes but it's on the drier side...wich isn't bad by any means.

Served in a flute from the bottle.

Appearance: Semi thick black body with a brown tinted body. Tan head which rose thick roughly almost two fingers length.

Smell: Super light malt with hint of espresso.

Taste: Bitter coffee with touch of malt. Had bitter dark chocolate feel.

Mouth: Dry feel with bitter finish. Carbonation is medium at best coming off a bit heavy.

Overall: Descent brew, you know I can see a barrel aged version of this coming soon but you never...the slight tweaking could make this a classic.
