Caffrey’s Black Stout has been announced by the Molson Coors beverage Company as a rich, complex beer that responds to increasing consumer demand for high-quality craft-style libations. The beer comes in with a 3.4% ABV and boasts notes of roasted malt with dominate notes of cocoa, which are complemented by slight bitterness, caramel notes and a touch of licorice. The understated hoppy notes allow the malt-forward flavor to take centerstage, while the nitrogen infusion achieves a smooth mouthfeel for an easy drinking texture.
UK Saltes Director UK&I Kev Fawell commented on the Caffrey’s Black Stout saying, "Stout continues to attract a broader range of drinkers, moving beyond its traditional audience. That shift presents a clear opportunity for established brands such as Caffrey’s to play a role in the category’s next phase of growth. The introduction of Caffrey’s Black Stout to our leading portfolio, with a strong value proposition, represents our commitment to supporting our customers and the evolving tastes of their guests.”
