Nepo Brewing - Nepomucen

This American Stout reimagines the classic holiday dessert with a bold, festive intensity. The sensory profile is dominated by a rich synergy of bittersweet chocolate and deep roasted malts, which provide a sturdy backbone for the layered additions of dark fruit. Intensely jammy raisin and tart, sun-ripened cherry notes weave through the roast, evocative of a dense Christmas pudding. While the base style maintains a firm hop bitterness and a hint of resiny character, the pastry elements provide a luxurious, velvety sweetness. This interplay between charred malt acidity and lush stone fruit creates a complex, comforting experience that finishes with a lingering cocoa-dusted fruitiness.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque in the glass; crowned by a large, persistent head of deep tan foam that leaves thick lacing. SRM 40+.

Aroma. High intensity of roasted cocoa and dark chocolate; secondary notes of tart cherry and concentrated raisin are prominent. Low resiny hop aroma and light esters of dried plum support a clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is rich bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee beans. Strong flavors of dark cherry and sweet raisin emerge mid-palate, characteristic of a pastry stout. Medium-high bitterness balances the malt sweetness, leading to a medium-dry finish with a lingering roasted grain and dark fruit aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a creamy, somewhat viscous texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a gentle lift to the palate. Smooth, light alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
