This American Stout offers a deep sensory experience focused on dark roasted grains and classic American hop accents. Expect an inviting aromatic profile of dark chocolate and freshly roasted coffee, subtly complemented by citrusy and resiny hop notes. The palate follows with bittersweet chocolate and charred grain flavors, balanced by a firm hop bitterness that leads to a dry, slightly burnt finish. Despite its approachable strength, the beer maintains a creamy texture and a substantial presence on the tongue, exemplifying a robust yet smooth dark ale character that honors its name by remaining remarkably balanced.
Appearance.Opaque jet black color (35 SRM) with a large, persistent head ranging from light tan to light brown with excellent lacing.
Aroma.Moderate to strong intensity of roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Very low citrusy and resiny hop aroma provides a clean counterpoint to the deep malt character. Low fruity esters are present.
