Foreign Extra Stout 7.5 º 30 IBU

Brasserie Artisanale Gallicus

This Foreign Extra Stout presents a bold, sophisticated profile defined by the deep intensity of roasted barley. A foundational malt presence of dark chocolate and espresso beans dominates the senses, while Columbus hops provide a sturdy, resinous bitterness that balances the initial malt richness. At 7.5% ABV, a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth emerges, smoothing out the finish. The sensory experience is remarkably robust yet avoids harshness, leaning into the dry, roasted character typical of the style. Subtle notes of molasses and dried fruit linger in the background, creating a complex, full-bodied dark ale with a clean, lingering roasted aftertaste.

Appearance. Very deep brown to black in color (30-40 SRM). Opaque clarity with a large, persistent tan head that leaves dense lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity roast aromatics of coffee and dark chocolate. Low to medium fruitiness reminiscent of raisins. Low earthy and slightly herbal hop character from the Columbus additions. Subtle, clean alcohol presence without fusel notes.

Taste. Strong initial impression of unsweetened cocoa and burnt grain from the roasted barley. Medium-high bitterness is prominent, supported by a moderate earthy hop flavor. Low esters of plum and prune. The balance is firmly toward the roast and hops, leading to a moderately dry, lingering finish with a clean aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a slight lift. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth without being hot.
