Decadent Ales Heavy Lifting
Sweet Stout 7.3 º
This decadent Sweet Stout presents a luxurious sensory experience centered on a deep, roasted grain profile. The aroma and palate are heavily influenced by the generous addition of whole Ugandan and Pompona vanilla beans, which impart complex layers of floral creaminess and rich, earthy sweetness. Robust chocolate and coffee-like notes from the dark malts provide a sturdy backbone, while the addition of lactose ensures a velvety, milk-chocolate texture. Balancing the roast’s bitterness with a pronounced residual sweetness, this beer offers a plush, dessert-like finish that highlights the specific nuances of the specialty vanilla beans against a backdrop of toasted cocoa.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Topped with a thick, persistent, creamy tan head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity of rich vanilla and dark chocolate. Prominent scents of roasted coffee and cocoa are softened by a cream-like sweetness. Very low earthy hop aroma and subtle dark fruit esters are buried beneath the primary vanilla and malt bouquet.
Taste. Dominant flavors of bittersweet chocolate and sweetened espresso. The Ugandan and Pompona vanilla beans provide a deep, multi-dimensional sweetness that persists from the initial sip through the finish. Medium bitterness from roasted grains provides a necessary counterpoint to the high residual sweetness. The finish is long and creamy, emphasizing milk chocolate and vanilla bean pods.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full-bodied with a luxurious, velvety creaminess. Moderate carbonation. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its 7.3% strength, enhancing the beer's richness without being harsh.
