A Christmas gift from 2023, drunk in April 2024.

L: On pouring, it's the classic nitro backwards-cascading bubbles melding seamlessly into a brown-coal-coloured body. As things settle, a hefty collar of marshmallow-like foam sits regally atop the beer, daring my moustache to enter its silken, creamy embrace.

S: The armour is subtle, milky coffee and cocoa. A sweet minerality overlays all.

T: I can taste a subtle roasted malt flavour and a hint of brown sugar and milk. The bitterness is almost non-existent, and the beer has a dry finish, which makes me crave more. Towards the end, I can detect a mild raspberry flavour, but since I find it in all stouts (and I seem to be the only one), I wonder if it's just my taste buds playing tricks on me. This beer has a light and delicate taste, which goes perfectly with the nitro. Highly enjoyable.

M: As Paul Hogan once said, it's like angels crying on your tongue. The beer is pillow-soft, and I could see myself glugging it in large gulps rather than my usual delicate, pinkie-extended sipping fashion.

O: This is an excellent beer, probably overrated due to the novelty of a well-done nitro stout. But if novelty is what makes this style of beer stand out from the Guinness-addled crowd, then it's done its job admirably.

Cheers!
