Sweet Stout 6 º 25 IBU

Left Hand Brewing Company

This Sweet Stout offers a comforting and velvety sensory experience defined by the seamless integration of roasted malts and lactose. The profile evokes the imagery of cream in dark coffee, delivering rich layers of milk chocolate and sweetened espresso. The use of milk sugar provides a persistent, rounded sweetness that softens the moderate bitterness of the dark grains, preventing any harsh or burnt acridity. It presents a lush, dessert-like character where the creamy texture enhances deep cocoa and caramel notes. The result is an approachable, full-bodied ale that finishes with a gentle, lingering sweetness and a smooth, luxurious mouthfeel.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (35-40 SRM) with a thick, dense, and persistent creamy tan head that leaves intricate lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent milk chocolate and dark-roasted coffee. A distinct cream-like sweetness is present, alongside very low earthy hop notes and subtle dark fruit esters.

Taste. Dominant flavors of cocoa and sweetened coffee-and-cream. Medium-low roasted grain character provides a sturdy base without being acrid. High residual sweetness lasts into the finish, balanced by a moderate bitterness. Low earthy hop flavor and faint fruity esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full-bodied with a signature silky, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a soft, palate-coating richness from unfermented sugars with very light alcohol warmth.
