Dougall’s Session Stout

This session-strength version of an American Stout leads with a deep, jet-black appearance and a creamy, tan head. The Maris Otter base provides a sturdy foundation for a complex malt architecture including Chocolate malt and Roasted Barley, yielding intense aromas of fresh-ground coffee and bittersweet cocoa. The addition of Simcoe hops adds a subtle resinous pine and citrus edge, characteristic of the style. On the palate, a silky texture from oat flakes balances the assertive roasted bitterness. It finishes with a pleasant sweetness and lingering notes of dark chocolate, providing surprising depth and a flavorful, rounded experience for its approachable strength.
