Sweet Stout 6.8 º

Peculier Ales

This Sweet Stout presents a decadent, dessert-forward profile, leaning into its additions of Lima Roasters coffee and aromatic hazelnuts. The nose is immediately greeted by a lush, cream-like sweetness and rich vanilla, layering over a foundation of milk chocolate and toasted nuts. On the palate, the coffee provides a smooth, espresso-like depth without harsh acidity, perfectly balanced by the residual sugar typical of the style. Each sip feels indulgent and velvety, with the roasted malts offering a gentle counterpoint to the persistent hazelnut and vanilla finish. It is a harmonious expression of a traditional milk stout enhanced by modern confectionery flavors.

Appearance. Very dark brown to nearly black (38 SRM); opaque. Topped with a persistent, creamy, mocha-colored head that leaves fine lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of roasted coffee and nutty hazelnut. A distinct cream-like sweetness is present, accented by prominent floral vanilla and dark chocolate. Very low earthy hop aroma; clean fermentation profile with low dark fruit esters.

Taste. Initial impression is of sweetened espresso and chocolate-covered hazelnuts. The mid-palate features a moderate roasted grain bitterness that is quickly softened by high residual sweetness from lactose and vanilla. The Lima Roasters coffee adds a rich, dark-roast complexity. The finish is long and sweet, dominated by vanilla and hazelnut, with a clean, smooth, and lingering sugary aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and notably creamy with a silky texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, enhancing the weight and luxury of the beer. There is a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth, but no harshness or grain astringency.
