This Foreign Extra Stout presents a complex blend of traditional London character and robust hopping. The sensory journey is anchored by deep cocoa and roasted malt notes, complemented by a distinct spice and fruit profile. East Kent Goldings contribute a refined earthy and floral backbone, while Galena UK hops introduce subtle spicy undertones and dark fruit nuances. Despite its approachable strength, it maintains the style's signature richness and smooth, full-flavored profile. The finish is assertive yet balanced, showcasing an interplay between roasted bitterness and the herbal, spicy qualities of the British hops, making for a highly drinkable yet sophisticated dark ale.
Appearance.Opaque, very deep mahogany to jet black (35 SRM). Thick, persistent tan head with excellent lacing and retention.

Taste.Initial impression of rich roasted coffee and bitter cocoa. Mid-palate reveals dark fruit esters and a subtle spicy complexity. Hop bitterness is firm and well-structured, following the style's character. The finish is moderately dry with a lingering roasted grain and herbal hop aftertaste.
