Foreign Extra Stout 7.4 º

Funky Fluid

Funky Fluid Winter Cake redefines the Foreign Extra Stout style as a festive sensory experience, seamlessly layering winter spices over a robust, dark roasted malt backbone. Aromas of bright orange zest and warming cinnamon lead into a complex bouquet of earthy cardamom, fragrant nutmeg, and sharp cloves. On the palate, deep roasted notes of dark chocolate and espresso form a rich, velvety foundation that balances the vibrant, festive spice character. The finish is moderately dry, lingering with a complex interplay of roasted bitterness and warming, holiday spice, creating an evocative and cozy drinking experience.

Appearance. Very deep, near-opaque black in color with a dense, persistent tan head that leaves thick lacing as it recedes.

Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring prominent roasted malt notes of dark chocolate and French roast coffee. This dark canvas is layered with a festive, aromatic blend of sweet cinnamon, earthy cardamom, fragrant nutmeg, and a hint of clove, brightened by a distinct, zesty lift of orange peel. Low dark fruit esters of plum and raisin are present in the background.

Taste. Initial impression of rich, bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee beans. This roasted foundation is immediately layered with holiday spices, showcasing warm cinnamon, cardamom, and subtle clove phenolics. The orange zest provides a sweet-citrus contrast. Bittering is medium-high, balancing the spiced sweetness. The finish is moderately dry with lingering notes of dark roast and warming spices.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, velvety, and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is noticeable but smooth, with minimal astringency from roasted malts or spices.
