This robust coffee stout presents a deeply aromatic profile centered on Ridge Runner French Roast coffee. The nose is dominated by freshly ground beans, supported by a rich foundation of dark chocolate and toffee. On the palate, the coffee integration is seamless, offering layers of roasted bitterness that harmonize with the velvety sweetness of added lactose. The malt bill provides a caramel-centered core that balances the intense coffee extraction achieved during conditioning. Smooth and decadent, it finishes with a lingering mocha-like quality, showcasing a masterful balance between its stout base and the coffee additions.
Appearance.Near-opaque ebony (SRM 35-40) with a dense, creamy tan head that persists well, leaving significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity coffee aroma, characterized by dark roast and earthy notes. Secondary layers of milk chocolate, toasted caramel, and a hint of vanilla-like sweetness from the lactose. Hop aroma is negligible.
Taste.Initial impression is a bold wave of French Roast coffee, followed by sweet toffee and bittersweet chocolate malt flavors. The lactose provides a soft, milky sweetness that rounds out the coffee's acidic edges. Bitterness is moderate, derived from both hops and roasted grains, leading to a lingering, clean, coffee-infused finish.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a notable silkiness and creaminess from the lactose. Carbonation is moderate. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
