Glasgow Beer Works Seasmhach
Foreign Extra Stout 5.2 º
Glasgow Beer Works Seasmhach is a creative interpretation of a Foreign Extra Stout, integrating the traditional roasted backbone of the style with the unique properties of Philippine Ube. The sensory experience is dominated by an upfront vanilla and cakey aroma, reminiscent of sugary baked goods. On the palate, the starchy sweetness of the purple yam provides a plush texture that complements deep toasted notes of coffee and dark chocolate from the roasted malts. While it suggests a dessert-like profile, the beer maintains the style's characteristic firm bitterness and moderately dry finish, ensuring a balanced and drinkable dark ale.
Appearance. Opaque and very deep black in color (SRM 40). It carries a large, dense tan head with excellent retention and significant lacing.
Aroma. High intensity of vanilla and sweet, cake-like aromatics from the Ube. This is layered over a moderate roasted malt profile featuring coffee and lightly burnt grain. Subtle dark fruit esters and a low earthy hop presence are detectable in the background.
Taste. The initial impression is sweet and cakey, leading into a mid-palate of dark chocolate and toasted grain. Medium-high bitterness balances the sugary Ube character. The fermentation is clean with low esters, finishing moderately dry with a lingering roasted coffee aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy character likely enhanced by the Ube starch. Carbonation is moderate, and the 5.2% ABV provides only a very subtle, light alcohol warmth.
