Sweet Stout 6 º

GANZA Brewery

This Sweet Stout from GANZA Brewery offers a decadent sensory experience, weaving together rich dessert elements with traditional dark malts. Deep Chocolate notes dominate the initial impression, seamlessly blending with the unexpected but lush aroma of ripe banana. The addition of cardamom introduces a sophisticated, herbal spice that cuts through the creamy lactose sweetness. Its character is reminiscent of a liquid confection, where the gentle roast provides a sturdy backbone for the aromatic complexity. Smooth and indulgent, the profile balances the velvet texture of a classic Sweet Stout with a modern, spiced twist, leaving a lingering, pastry-like finish.

Appearance. Opaque black with deep mahogany highlights at the edges (35-40 SRM). Crowned by a dense, persistent, creamy tan head with fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; prominent notes of milk chocolate and sweet cocoa powder are layered with distinct ripe banana esters and the warm, floral-herbal perfume of cardamom. Subdued roasted grain provides a coffee-like base, complemented by a rich, cream-like sweetness and no discernible hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is sweet and creamy. Dominant flavors of chocolate and sweetened espresso are accented by the spicy, slightly citrusy punch of cardamom. Moderate fruity esters suggest banana bread. The hop bitterness is moderate, serving only to balance the residual lactose sweetness. The finish is long, sweet, and clean, reminiscent of a chocolate-banana dessert.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a thick, velvety texture and noticeable creaminess. Carbonation is moderate and soft. A light, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the beer's richness without any harshness.
