Dry Stout 4.2 º 45 IBU

Guinness

This quintessential Irish Stout presents a masterclass in nitrogen-driven texture, defined by its legendary creamy head atop a deep, dark ruby body. The sensory profile is dominated by the assertive use of Roasted Barley, yielding sharp, coffee-like aromas and notes of dark chicory. On the palate, it delivers a bittersweet reward of unsweetened cocoa and toasted grain, balanced by a firm bitterness that ensures a clean, dry finish. Velvety and remarkably smooth, the beer transitions from a rich, roasted entry to a lingering aftertaste, embodying the balanced yet parched character of the classic Dublin-style stout.

Appearance. Jet black to a very dark shade of ruby with garnet highlights; opaque. Features a thick, exceptionally creamy, long-lasting tan head with characteristic fine-beaded lacing from the nitrogen surge.

Aroma. Moderate coffee-like intensity dominates the nose, supported by secondary notes of roasted grain and faint cocoa. Very low earthy hop aroma and clean fermentation with minimal esters.

Taste. Initial impression of roasted grain and coffee, followed by a bittersweet chocolate character and notes of chicory. Medium to high bitterness from the roasted barley leads to a very dry, clean finish with a lingering roasted-malt aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a signature velvet-like creaminess from the nitrogen dispense. Low carbonation and remarkably smooth, with a subtle roasted astringency that avoids harshness.
