Argus Tostada
Strong Ale 6.6 º
This Winter Seasonal Beer presents a deep, toasted character reflective of its Spanish Tostada heritage. The profile is defined by a robust malt backbone featuring layers of burnt sugar, caramel, and a hint of dark bread. Subtle holiday spices, reminiscent of cinnamon and orange peel, weave through the aroma, complementing the dark fruit esters. The elevated 6.6% alcohol provides a gentle, supportive warmth without being harsh. Cleanly fermented, it balances a rich, chewy sweetness with a restrained bitterness, delivering a comforting, festive experience that lingers with notes of toasted nuts and dried plums.
Appearance. Deep amber to copper-brown (15-22 SRM). Clear with a well-formed, persistent off-white to light tan head that leaves moderate lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Prominent toasted malt and caramel sweetness. Gentle spice notes of cinnamon and nutmeg are evident, integrated with faint orange zest and raisin fruitiness. Hop aroma is very low and herbal. Clean fermentation.
Taste. Initial impression is sweet and malty with flavors of toffee and toasted crust. The spice character is supportive, offering a mild festive warmth. Low hop bitterness allows the malt and spices to lead. Finishes moderately full and sweet with a lingering dark fruit and caramel aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a slightly chewy, rounded texture. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth. No astringency.
