Duclaw’s 4th eXile: X-4 Macchiato Milk Stout

DuClaw Brewing has just released bottles of X-4 Macchiato Milk Stout. The 4th release in the brewery’s eXile Series. 

… X-4 Macchiato Milk Stout is black in color and full-bodied, with a silky, velvety mouthfeel. With a moderately strong 6.3% abv and just enough hop bitterness to balance rich flavors and aromas of roasted malt, chocolate, and real espresso verdi so lush, you won’t be certain if it was made by a brewer or a barista.

Style: Milk Stout (w/ Coffee)
Availability: 22oz bombers
