Tasting Notes

E: Dark, Rich black colour, with a reddish hue and a thick brown head.

N: Roasted characters of coffee and dark chocolate.

P: Initial bitterness is balanced by a malty sweetness leading to a roasted almost burnt bitterness, but not unpleasant - hint of subtle liquorice

M: Smooth finish, gentle carbonation, 

Other comments: Another famous Australian brewery born out of a love of beer and embodies the passions of the Tasmanian brewmasters.  The Cascade brewery still malts its barley at the brewery.  A lovely well balanced stout, with the usual suspects of roasted, coffee and chocolate characters

Food Pairings: Oysters, Strong mature cheddars, dark rich chocolate puddings / cake.  Use the stout in a Beef stew with some mushrooms.

SCORE: 3.0/5
