Duration has one of the more interesting stories for a five-year old: husband and wife cobble together the funds to build a brewery out of an abandoned abbey in a really remote rural area. They win awards most five year olds don't win. And they make complicated ales that most five year olds don't succeed at (tart farmhouses mostly.) Good for us that they appear to have made it. And they have an outstanding website, no matter what the micro's age. I'd give them more Overall Hugs, but they are under-aged.
So in comes Ebb & Flow, one of the better American Stouts I can remember in a while. Doesn't make any typical beginner mistakes (usually too much hops) and instead blends a really nice malt bill that makes its own bittersweet. Medium-mouthed. Could be more aromatic; but Ebb & Flow makes its statement in my mouth. And by the way, this stout pairs nicely with McVitties Bittersweet HoHos oaties. Cheers !

L- Superficially black, but super-deep ruby-red with a halogen torch held behind it. Pours clear with a brief 2mm tan head.
S- Hmmm... something very different... plant-based? ... Aromatic, 'green-smelling', leafy? I cheat and read the can... it describes 'fruit notes'.
T- Initial bright/dark fruit then swiftly into deep and quite pungent depths. Then smokey/toasty. Somehow the initial blackberry (or similar?) and dark/deep finish come into a balance.
F- It's intensely flavoured, full-on pungent on feel in the mouth. More suited to colder months/winter as a slow-sipping beer.
O- Well, it's really full-on. You won't taste much delicate after this one. Big and punchy, in fact it punches above it's weight.
Bought from TremblingMadness/York/UK as part of a mixed case for home-delivery to me in London. 440ml can £4.50 BB: 28/04/2021
