Stereo Wolf Stout - Prototype Challenge
Dark Audio Storm.
Roasty, dark and complex, Stereo Wolf is a 5.2% ABV Stout brewed with a cacophony of hop-driven fruit and spice. Dark chocolate stalks alongside the resonating bitterness, through to Stereo Wolf’s lingering dry finish. Balancing roasty malt and new world hops at 5.2% ABV is no mean feat, but Stereo Wolf takes it in its stride.

Special W is a specialty malt that creates an intense profile of nuts, raisins and caramel. It provides a focal point for the malt base, that the hops can stack against.
