Sweet Stout 7.5 º 10 IBU

Mad Brewing

This Sweet Stout offers a nostalgic sensory profile reminiscent of freshly baked desserts. Rich cocoa and toasted cookie notes dominate the experience, supported by a backbone of dark, roasted malts that evoke sweetened espresso and milk chocolate. Despite its robust 7.5% ABV, the beer remains remarkably smooth, showcasing a velvety texture likely enhanced by lactose. The aroma is high in chocolate and vanilla-like biscuit tones, while the palate balances a gentle roasted bitterness with a lingering, creamy sweetness. It finishes with a light sugary touch, successfully capturing the essence of homemade treats in a full-bodied, comforting glass.

Appearance. Opaque black (40 SRM). Dense, persistent tan head with fine bubbles and creamy lacing.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring dominant milk chocolate and cocoa powder. Pronounced sweet, doughy cookie character with hints of vanilla. Low roasted grain scent similar to sweetened coffee. Substantial cream-like sweetness with negligible hop aroma and very low fruity esters.

Taste. Initial impression is sweet and indulgent. Flavors of cocoa and baked sugar cookies lead into a mid-palate of dark chocolate and lightly toasted malt. Bitterness is moderate and serves only to provide a gentle balance to the residual sugars. The finish is lightly sweet and smooth, with a clean roasted aftertaste and no discernible hop flavor.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full-bodied with a notably creamy and silky texture. Low carbonation provides a soft, mouth-coating sensation. A subtle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, consistent with the elevated ABV.
