'Less bitterness less roast malts than ink'=less flavour add widget & nitro & you get a smoother homogenised bland stout ..ok maybe I'm over reacting (I want the ink stout!) no lactose so very little sweetness just a plain old stout with a little nitrogen

FAB hit a curve ball ..producing a ale that mimics a kolsch using pilsner malts right abv, right IBU ..but other attributes way off citrusy lemony body but lack clarity crispiness & sharpness of a kolsch so in that respect agree with Dean B it's a miss
