§ How it tastes

Softer and sweeter than a stout, with the roast turned down and the chocolate turned up. It is dark without being a project: full enough to feel like something, light enough for a second. The one to try if stouts have always seemed a bit burnt to you.

That's the style. This beer is one brewery's take on it.
