Foreign Extra Stout 8.2 º

Funky Fluid

This compelling Foreign Extra Stout showcases a sophisticated rye twist, pouring an opaque, pitch-black hue crowned by a dense, rocky tan head. Bold aromas of dark chocolate and espresso roast are elevated by a distinct earthy, peppery spiciness from the rye malt, with subtle undertones of dark plum. On the palate, deep layers of cocoa and roasted grain merge seamlessly with the spicy rye character, met by a firm, balancing bitterness. Velvety, rich, and warming, it delivers a satisfyingly complex experience that finishes moderately dry with a lingering touch of roasted malt.

Appearance. Opaque, deep black (SRM 40) with a large, creamy, mocha-colored head that exhibits excellent retention and leaves thick, beautiful lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of dark chocolate, heavily roasted coffee beans, and charred grain, accompanied by a prominent peppery, earthy spiciness from the rye malt. Low dark-fruit esters of raisin and plum, with a subtle, clean hint of alcohol and no diacetyl.

Taste. An initial wave of rich bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and burnt crust is quickly complemented by a sharp, earthy rye malt spiciness. Hop bitterness is firm and assertive, balancing the residual malt sweetness. The finish is moderately dry and clean, leaving a lingering, roasty aftertaste without harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full, borderline full-bodied, with a notably slick and velvety texture derived from the rye. Carbonation is moderate, and a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a comforting sensation without any hotness.
