Notes

Built around unmalted roasted barley for that signature coffee-bitter snap. A small portion of wheat malt rounds the body and improves head retention.

Brewer: Aim for a moderately low FG; ferment cool for cleanliness.

Packaging: Traditional draught-style serving uses 75% N₂ blend; bottled stout carbonates to 1.8–2.0 vols.
