Quaff Brewery Qwerty
Stout 4.9 º
Quaff Brewery’s Qwerty is an approachable yet characterful take on the American Stout, presenting an opaque, jet-black appearance with a resilient tan head. The sensory profile is defined by a robust roasted malt foundation, delivering deep notes of bittersweet chocolate and espresso-like coffee, elegantly lifted by a subtle, distinctive hint of licorice. While the moderate alcohol content makes it more sessionable than some examples of the style, it maintains a firm bitterness and a resinous hop presence characteristic of American-style ales. The finish is balanced and dry, leaving a lingering impression of dark grain and citrusy hop oils, providing a sophisticated and structured dark beer experience.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 35+). Features a large, persistent, light tan to medium brown head with excellent lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity of roasted malt, specifically dark chocolate and roasted coffee. A very light, sweet licorice aroma is present. Low citrusy and resinous hop character is noticeable, supported by faint fruity esters and a clean fermentation profile.
Taste. Initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and deeply toasted bread. Malt flavors transition into prominent coffee and a hint of caramel sweetness. Bitterness is medium-high, complemented by low citrusy hop flavors. The finish is medium-dry with a lingering, pleasant roasted grain aftertaste and no harsh acridity.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable creaminess. Carbonation is moderate to medium-high. Very low alcohol warmth due to the 4.9% ABV, with a smooth texture and only a slight, acceptable roast-derived astringency.
