2017 Metric Stout

The days are short and cold this far south in winter. The good news is that this doesn’t matter if you have a merry fire at your back and a Metric Stout in hand. This year’s vintage presents jet-black, with a dense tan head of foam providing lacing all the way down the glass. Rich malty aromas with hints of raisins, chocolate, ristretto and campfire ash mingle with an edge of citrusy Cascade and woody Willamette hops. A complex layering of mocha, roasted malts, caramelised fig and dark fruits coats the mouth, finishing with a firm and balanced hop bitterness. Metric Stout is made once per year and only 999 bottles of the 2017 vintage were produced.
