It’s Sou’wester. I like Stouts but as the other reviewers say this one isn’t quite right. shame as the basics are there - smells ok, looks great in and out of the bottle, tastes of coffee and hops. I hope they tweak the recipe as medium strong stouts are a rare find in NZ

Draught at the Queenstown brew pub, black with a foamy tan head. A roasted coffee aroma, but light and sweet. Dry, roasted malt on the palate, with a gravelly outhfeel. A diacetyl butterscotch - shame, as this could be a better beer.

dark with a tan head. Not much aroma - dark chocolate and a hint of hops. Tastes of a generic malty sweetness. Some chocolate, but no roast or black malt flavours.Bitterness come thorugh at the end, but with an unpleasan astringency. Seems quite watery for a 6.5% beer. Underwhelming.

They call this a dark, strong, stout, but I wouldn’t. I’d call it a mild/weak porter at best. It certainly doesn’t taste 6.8%. It has a caramel-like sweetness, and not much roasted or bitter flavour. A disappointment.
