Stout 6 º 50 IBU

Brouwkeet

This American Stout presents an assertive sensory profile centered on a robust roasted foundation. A meticulous combination of three dark malt types and pure roasted barley delivers intense aromas and flavors of bittersweet chocolate, scorched cocoa, and dark-roast espresso. The addition of oats is key to the experience, tempering the aggressive roast with a notably soft, velvety mouthfeel that smooths out the palate. While it draws inspiration from historical Irish and English lineage, the firm bitterness and resinous hop character firmly establish its modern identity. At 6% ABV, it balances strength with drinkability, concluding in a clean, lingering dry finish.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 35-40) with a large, persistent light tan head that leaves thick lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity dominated by roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Subtle notes of charcoal and burnt grain are present but not acrid. A low citrusy and resinous hop aroma provides a bright counterpoint to the deep malt profile, accompanied by very low fruity esters.

Taste. High roasted flavors of espresso beans and bittersweet chocolate lead the palate, supported by a low caramel malt sweetness. The bitterness is firm and hop-forward, blending with the roasted grain character. A low resinous hop flavor emerges mid-palate, leading to a medium-dry finish with a lingering, pleasant burnt-coffee aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, smooth texture derived from the oats. Carbonation is medium-high, providing a crispness that cuts through the malt weight. A light, smooth alcohol warmth is present, with minimal roast-derived astringency.
