Brewed on the Frisian island of Vlieland using dune water, barley malt, oats and hops, Fortuna Vlieland's Storm Stout is a smooth and mildly bitter interpretation of the style. The nearly black beer reveals subtle notes of coffee and chocolate alongside a balance of bitterness and sweetness, with a gentle tartness in the background. A creamy mouthfeel makes it exceptionally thirst-quenching.

At 5.5% ABV, this stout demonstrates that the style need not be heavy or demanding. It's an accessible yet flavourful beer that challenges the notion of what a stout can be.
