Rigg & Furrow’s King Coal is a robust American Stout that bridges the gap between industrial darkness and woodland smoke. The sensory experience is dominated by a heavy roast profile reminiscent of espresso and bittersweet chocolate, amplified by the distinct addition of Beech smoked malt which contributes a savory, woody depth. Resinous American hops cut through the rich malt base, providing a firm bitterness. At 6% ABV, it maintains a substantial presence without becoming overbearing, finishing with a lingering campfire note and a clean, dry roasted quality that honors its namesake.
Appearance.Jet black and opaque (SRM 35–40) with a dense, persistent light-brown head that leaves significant lacing.
Aroma.High intensity roast with dominant notes of dark chocolate and charred coffee beans. The Beech smoked malt adds a medium-high aromatic layer of savory, woody smoke. Low but noticeable resinous hop character and faint dark fruit esters.
Taste.Intense initial impression of dark roasted grains and bitter cocoa. The savory character of Beech smoked malt integrates with a medium-high hop bitterness, resulting in a complex smoky-citrus interplay. Mid-palate reveals light caramel sweetness before a dry, slightly acrid, and long-lasting roasted finish.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a creamy, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-high, providing a lively prickle that balances the density. Smooth, subtle alcohol warmth is present at 6% ABV.
