Stout 6.3 º 27 IBU

Kaapse Brouwers

Kaapse Marcus presents as a robust American Stout that bridges the gap between classic roast and deeper complexity. The grist, featuring Crystal, Roast, and Roasted Wheat malts, creates a foundation of bittersweet chocolate and espresso. Muscovado sugar adds layers of dark molasses and toffee, which mingle with the fruity esters produced by the British Ale yeast. Bitterness is provided by Challenger hops, offering a firm, earthy counterpoint to the malt richness. This dark pour is defined by its smooth, creamy texture and a lingering roasted finish that balances sweetness with a bold, charred character.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque with a thick, persistent light tan head that leaves significant lacing.

Aroma. High intensity roast with dominant notes of dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans. Subtle earthy hop aroma from the Challenger hops. Muscovado sugar provides a dark fruit and molasses-like sweetness, complemented by light fruity esters from the British Ale yeast.

Taste. Initial impression of rich, bittersweet chocolate and dark-roasted grain. Medium-high bitterness provides a firm structure. The addition of Roasted Wheat softens the roast, while Muscovado sugar and Crystal malts contribute deep caramel and burnt sugar flavors. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering charred coffee aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, smooth texture. Moderate-high carbonation provides a slight lift to the heavy roast. Gentle alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
