Dougall's Session Stout is an ode to roasted malt, presented in a light and extremely balanced format. Visually, it showcases a deep, opaque black color, topped with a dense caramel foam that is quite persistent. Its aroma is delightful, with a spectrum that includes freshly ground coffee, pure cacao, and a subtle hint of black licorice, complemented with roasted cake notes. On the palate, its silky body and low alcohol content surprise, making it an ideal choice for a 'session', as it combines the complexity of a stout with a lightness that invites repetition. Its bitterness is moderate, coming from both hops and dark malts, finishing with a dry and clean end that leaves a pleasant sensation of bitter chocolate. It is a sophisticated beer that confirms that depth of flavor is not always tied to high alcohol content.
