Stout 9.1 º

La Source Beer Co.

Event Horizon is a decadent Spice, Herb, or Vegetable Beer that leans into its dark Stout foundation, presenting a visceral sensory experience. The deep black pour releases an intense bouquet where freshly roasted coffee beans merge with the unique earthy, nutty nuances of buckwheat. Rich layers of bittersweet chocolate and toasted bread crusts dominate the palate, supported by the savory depth of the roasted buckwheat. A firm roasted bitterness balances the residual malt sweetness, while the 9.1% alcohol provides a comforting, well-integrated warmth. This beer offers a velvety texture and a lingering, espresso-driven finish that underscores its complex, light-absorbing profile.

Appearance. Jet black (SRM 40+) and completely opaque. It supports a thick, persistent, deep tan head with fine bubbles that leaves dense lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Prominent notes of freshly ground coffee and espresso take center stage, complemented by the unique earthy and toasted-nut aroma of roasted buckwheat. Background malt notes include dark chocolate, molasses, and a hint of dark dried fruit like plum or raisin.

Taste. Rich and multifaceted initial impression, featuring deep roasted coffee flavors and a distinctive savory, nutty element from the buckwheat. Malt flavors include bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and burnt toast. A moderate bitterness is bolstered by the roasted grains and coffee acidity, leading to a long, balanced, and warming finish with a clean roasted aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a creamy, coating texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, consistent with its 9.1% strength, without being harsh or astringent.
