Artús Dry Stout
Artús Dry Stout presents a robust, elevated take on the classic Irish Stout, leaning into the darker, more intense corners of the style. At 6.5% ABV, it offers a more substantial presence than typical session versions, leading with a deep bouquet of intense coffee and dark chocolate derived from heavily roasted malts. Hints of licorice weave through the aromatic profile, adding complexity to the roasted grain foundation. The palate is defined by a firm bitterness that balances a creamy, full-bodied mouthfeel, finishing with a characteristic dryness. This is a powerful, dark ruby-black ale that emphasizes the harmony between sharp roasted acridity and a smooth, velvety texture.
Appearance. Jet black in color (SRM 40) with deep garnet highlights when held to the light. It is opaque and topped with a dense, creamy, tan head that exhibits excellent retention and thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by coffee-like roasted grains. Secondary notes of bittersweet chocolate, cocoa, and a distinct hint of licorice provide depth. Hop character is low and earthy, while fermentation esters are restrained and neutral.
Taste. Initial impression is characterized by sharp roasted grain and espresso flavors. The mid-palate reveals unsweetened chocolate and licorice notes that are well-integrated with the roasted malt bitterness. It possesses a medium-high bitterness that lingers into a clean, dry finish. The aftertaste is persistent with roasted coffee and a slight grainy acridity typical of the style.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a remarkably creamy and smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate. Despite the dry finish, the beer feels robust and substantial on the palate with a noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth.
