From its wildly inventive craft beer flavours to its colourful packaging, Grifter reminds us that beer is always ripe for reinvention.

This one is a tropical stout but if youre expecting something exotically fruity, youll be surprised. The style is all about using lager yeast and the result is a full-bodied, silky stout. Chocolate and coffee flavours are topped off by rum and raisin notes for a smooth finish with a sweet back note.

Our stout has sturdy base, which comes courtesy of pale, crystal and roasted malts. International hop varieties lend bitterness and a lick of spice, while brown sugar adds notes of molasses and caramel. It pours coffee black, with a nutbrown collar. Expect aromas of espresso, dried fruit and freshly ground cacao. To drink, it’s full and silky, with mild roasty notes and a sweetness that lingers politely on the palate…'cause sometimes only a stout will do.

Starting with a beautiful milk chocolate aroma leading into a smooth cocoa richness and a lingering toasty finish, this stout has embodied the very essence of a gorgeous flavoursome milk stout. Robust enough to pair with roast red meats or braises, yet soft enough to match with white meats, this is the stout to make winter worthwhile.
