De Dolle Brouwers brew this Export Stout several times a year using roasted malt, caramel malt and pale malt, combined with Nugget hops. The result is a bitter, dry beer with character—one that echoes English and Irish stouts of two centuries past. Dark chocolate, coffee and liquorice dominate the palate, with a subtle tartness that emerges as you progress through the glass.

This is no ordinary stout: a light body makes it surprisingly drinkable despite the smoky, roasted malt profile. The interplay of bitterness, tartness and dry finish gives this beer an authentic, characterful presence.
