Samuel Smith Chocolate Stout (pack of 4) (35.5cl, 5%)

An organic chocolate stout from Samuel Smith Old Brewery in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire. It is brewed with certified organic malted barley, cane sugar, hops and cocoa extract, and fermented with a proprietary yeast strain dating to the early 1900s. Water comes from the brewery's original 1758 well, and fermentation uses the classic Yorkshire Square system in Welsh slate vessels. The brewery has operated continuously since 1758. The aroma is led by milk chocolate, with bready dark malt, toasted dough, floral hops, toffee and confectionery sugar. The palate is creamy and full, with melted-chocolate richness, toasted sugar, espresso powder, toffee bark, nutty and coconut-like notes. The finish is medium-long, with roasted barley and residual cocoa warmth and only faint hop bitterness.
