Stout 9 º

't Paenhuys

This robust American Stout presents a commanding sensory profile defined by its high-intensity roasting. The nose is dominated by dark-roasted coffee beans and bittersweet chocolate, interwoven with citrusy and resiny hop notes that provide a sharp, clean counterpoint. At 9% ABV, the beer delivers a smooth, integrated alcohol warmth that elevates its winter character. On the palate, deep espresso and charred grain flavors are balanced by a firm bitterness and a medium-dry finish. A medium-full body and creamy texture offer a luxurious weight, while the lingering roasted grain and subtle piney hop character ensure a complex, structured experience.
