黑心

Poured jet black with a tan head that lingered longer than I expected, and the body is surprisingly smooth for a stout—no harsh bite at all. It’s rich without being heavy, which makes it dangerously easy to have a second one.

I cracked one open expecting heavy, syrup-thick sweetness, but the pour is sleek and the body drinks lighter than any stout I’ve had before. The roasted bitterness lingers just long enough to make you want another sip.

Opened it expecting something heavy and sweet, but it pours like velvet with a dry, roasty finish that actually cleans your palate. It’s smooth enough to sip slowly, yet bold enough that you won’t mistake it for a lager. The only problem is the six-pack won’t last the weekend.
