Export Stout with notes of cacao nibs, vanilla, graham cracker, and cappucino. Velvety smooth and full bodied with pleasant bitterness and a roasty, warming finish.

Crystal clear, dark brown pour, opaque look in the glass; light khaki hued head, semi-dense and frothy with sticky patterned flecks of foam inside the glass. Delightful scent of roasted and slightly charred grain with a chocolatey cacao element; dark malts. Rich and mellow taste; nearly muted milk chocolate flavor with hints of vanilla and a bare touch of caffeine; nice offsetting charred grain and coffee bitterness. Heavy body; smooth and densely slippery; lip-smacking stickiness.
The beauty of the well-crafted non-barrel aged stout. Here is a prime example. I assume that cacao nibs, vanilla, graham cracker, and cappucino are adjuncts used in this beer. The can notes mention these flavors (if not an actual adjunct list). One readily picks up these flavors. Regardless, this is a fine, fine stout and a real pleasure to drink on a cold, wet, mid-Spring along the Colorado Front Range.
ABV: 7.2%; pouring temperature: 52.0 ℉; canning info: 02/24/26
