American Stout 4.8 º

Birrificio Babylon

This American Stout presents a deep, mahogany-to-black pour with an inviting tan head. The aroma is defined by a bold interplay of roasted coffee and dark cocoa, accented by the unique, subtle citrus and herbal notes of Japanese hops. On the palate, complex layers of bittersweet chocolate and caramel meld with hints of dried fruit and an enveloping licorice finish. Despite its dark complexity, the 4.8% ABV ensures a lighter, highly approachable body compared to stronger versions of the style. The finish is clean and moderately dry, balancing intense roasted malt character with a firm, refined bitterness that ensures high drinkability.

Appearance. Jet black to dark brown (SRM 35-40); opaque and unfiltered with a large, persistent light tan head and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of roasted grains featuring espresso and dark chocolate; subtle caramel sweetness and a hint of dried fruit. Distinctive Japanese hop character provides a low citrus and herbal background.

Taste. Initial impressions of bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee beans, followed by mid-palate notes of caramel and licorice. Medium-high hop bitterness balances the malt. The Japanese hops contribute a mild, clean lemon-herbal flavor. Finishes dry with a lingering roasted grain quality.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, creamy texture; moderate carbonation. Very low alcohol warmth, consistent with its sessionable strength. No significant roast-derived astringency.
