Description

This smooth, roasty stout is built on rich layers of chocolate, dark caramel, and coffee. Flaked barley adds creamy mouthfeel and a lasting head, while a blend of specialty malts brings complexity without harsh bitterness. Carafa Special III rounds it off with a mellow roasted finish.

Perfect for cold evenings or slow sips by the fire — it’s the kind of beer that hugs your soul.
