The smoked malt here is the thing that makes Bonfire Stout different. Most AF stouts go straight for the coffee-and-chocolate notes; this one adds a pronounced smoky character that nods towards German Rauchbier. You get the espresso roast and dark chocolate as expected, but underpinned by a campfire smokiness that lingers on the finish. The body is full and creamy for a 0.5% beer, which helps it carry all those dark malt flavours without feeling thin. The finish is smooth with just enough smoke to remind you it's there. At 55 calories per 330ml, it sits comfortably within the lower end for a stout of this character. Gluten-free and vegan. Brewed in Wales.
