Disruption is Brewing

Shadow of Darkness presents a compelling interpretation of a Foreign Extra Stout, characterized by its deep, opaque presence and a persistent tan head. The sensory journey begins with an assertive aroma of freshly ground dark coffee and intense bitter chocolate. Despite its approachable 5% ABV, the inclusion of a significant portion of oats provides a luxuriously smooth and creamy texture that balances the high-roast character. On the palate, expect a rich interplay of burnt grain and dark cocoa, finishing with a moderate bitterness and a clean, lingering dryness. This stout artfully combines the intensity of roasted malts with a velvety mouthfeel.

Appearance. Opaque, very deep brown to near-black color. Renders a large, dense, tan-colored head with excellent retention and significant lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of roasted malts, exhibiting dominant notes of dark coffee and bitter chocolate. Low fruity esters of dark plum are present, accompanied by a subtle, earthy hop presence. No perceptible alcohol aroma.

Taste. Initial flavors of dark-roasted grain and cocoa nibs lead into a robust, coffee-like bitterness. The mid-palate is softened by the creamy influence of oats, transitioning into a moderately dry finish. Low earthy hop flavor and light fermentation esters round out a complex profile.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable creaminess and luscious, velvety texture derived from the heavy use of oats. Carbonation is moderate. Lacks any significant alcohol warmth, remaining smooth and drinkable.
