Dawat Black is Back is a rhythmic American Stout that leads with a striking interplay of deep roasted grains and vibrant New World hop character. At a sessionable 5% ABV, it balances dark chocolate and roasted coffee bean notes with a signature citrusy and resiny hop presence. The malt profile provides a solid foundation of caramel sweetness that offsets a firm, clean bitterness. Designed to mirror the soul and intensity of the music festival it honors, this beer offers a smooth yet assertive profile that transitions from rich cocoa to a crisp, dry finish, embodying a modern, hop-forward interpretation of the classic dark ale.
