Single can from the brewery - brewed since 2022 - not sure how I have not had this before.
Pours a clear, deep black with a half finger of mocha head that dissipates fairly shortly.
Nose of chocolate, hints of coffee, and a subtle yet quite remarkable raspberry jam fruitiness.
Tastes of cocoa, some cola notes, again sweetened coffee with some gentle roasty character and again hints of that raspberry jammy fruitiness - soft bitterness only.
Fuller end of medium mouthfeel with nice tingling carbonation giving way to a smooth silky finish. Not going to lie, this stout surprised me, as it was outstanding.
