Popaire Pop amb Botes is a robust American Stout that bridges aggressive roasting with the refined structure of oak aging. An opaque, jet-black pour yields intense aromas of dark-roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate, lifted by a resinous American hop presence and delicate nuances of toasted oak. The palate is dominated by charred malt and espresso-like depth, balanced by a firm bitterness and the subtle, smoothing influence of vanilla and wood tannins from the barrel maturation. At 7% ABV, it provides a pleasant warmth that complements its medium-full, creamy body, finishing with a persistent, dry roast character.
Appearance.Jet black and fully opaque. Features a large, persistent head of light tan to medium brown foam with dense lacing.
Aroma.High intensity roast with dominant notes of dark chocolate and espresso. Moderate resinous and citrusy hop character. The oak maturation contributes a noticeable woody aroma with hints of vanilla. Moderate esters and a soft, clean alcohol presence.
Taste.Bold initial impression of heavily roasted grains, tasting of bittersweet chocolate and espresso. Medium-high bitterness is well-integrated with citrusy hop flavors. The oak aging rounds out the mid-palate with toasted wood and subtle tannin. Finishes medium-dry with a lingering roasted malt and resinous hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a creamy, smooth texture. Moderate to medium-high carbonation. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth. Very low roast-derived astringency adds to the dry finish without being harsh.
