This American Stout presents a robust collision of charred malts and cozy winter warmth. At 6% ABV, it layers deep espresso and bittersweet chocolate notes against a backdrop of sticky, rich caramel. The influence of brandy-soaked oak chips introduces a sophisticated spirituous depth and whispers of vanilla, while a delicate infusion of cinnamon provides a soft, spiced finish. The aggressive American hopping typical of the style is tempered here by the decadent adjuncts, creating a complex, medium-full profile where wood-tannin and roasted bitterness harmonize with sweet, lingering confectionary notes for a truly evocative and festive sensory experience.
Appearance.Jet black and opaque; pours with a large, persistent light tan head that leaves thick lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity featuring a prominent moderate roast of coffee and dark chocolate. This is layered with rich, sticky caramel sweetness, subtle spicy cinnamon, and a vinous, spirit-like brandy note accompanied by light vanilla from the oak. Low resiny hop notes and light fruity esters are present in the background.
Taste.Initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and burnt coffee grounds followed by a mid-palate of rich, sweet caramel. Moderate bitterness is balanced by the malt density. Flavors of woody oak and smooth brandy emerge toward the finish, punctuated by a soft, lingering cinnamon spice. Low resiny hop flavor; the finish is medium-dry with a touch of roasted grain and warm spice.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a somewhat creamy, velvety texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A smooth, light alcohol warmth is bolstered by the spiced character. Very low roast-derived astringency and a pleasant tannic grip from the oak chips.
