La Selvaseria Fosca Caliu
Dry Stout 5.3 º
This American Stout presents a complex, smoky interpretation of the style, distinguished by its exceptionally dry profile and a unique infusion of Ratafia. It pours a very dark brown with a creamy, beige-colored head that leaves a delicate Brussels lace. The sensory profile is defined by a dominant wood-smoke character interwoven with the herbal and spiced walnut nuances of the Catalan liqueur. On the palate, roasted malt flavors of dark chocolate and toasted almond skin transition into a lingering smokiness. Despite its robust aromatic presence, the beer remains lean and smooth, finishing with a clean, roasted bitterness and a subtle spicy complexity.
Appearance. Very dark brown (SRM 35-40); creamy, beige head with medium retention and fine bubbles; exhibits light Brussels lacing; high clarity despite its deep color.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity; prominent wood smoke and roasted malt notes of coffee and dark chocolate; distinctive perfume of Ratafia including herbal spices and a nutty, almond-like quality; low ester profile.
Taste. Initial impression is bone-dry and roasted; flavors of toasted almond skin, dark cocoa, and persistent smoke; moderate bitterness (approx. 40-50 IBU) that balances the roasted grain; hints of Ratafia spices; finishes very dry and clean with a lingering roasted aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a creamy texture; low to moderate carbonation as per brewery intent; very smooth with no perceptible alcohol warmth; minimal roast-derived astringency.
