Sweet Stout 6.5 º

Salden's Brewery

Eskimo Stout offers a decadent, dessert-forward interpretation of an Imperial Stout, where the rugged intensity of roasted grains is tempered by the addition of lactose. The sensory profile leads with bold layers of bittersweet chocolate and espresso, which are softened into a milk-chocolate character by the creamy milk sugar. Deep dark fruit notes of black currant and raisin emerge in the mid-palate, characteristic of the style. Despite its moderate strength for the category, the beer maintains a chewy, substantial presence. It concludes with a harmonious balance of charred malt bitterness and a lingering, velvety sweetness.

Appearance. SRM 40; jet black and completely opaque. It supports a thick, dense, deep tan head with moderate retention and light lacing as it recedes.

Aroma. High intensity roast with primary notes of dark chocolate, cocoa, and heavy cream from the lactose. Moderate esters suggest dried plums and raisins, while hop aroma is very low and earthy. A subtle caramel maltiness supports the dominant roasted grain character.

Taste. The initial impression is sweet and creamy, quickly followed by intense roasted malt flavors of black coffee and dark chocolate. Hop bitterness is moderate and smooth, preventing the lactose from becoming cloying. Fermentation esters add complexity with notes of black currant. The finish is moderately sweet and lingering with a pleasant chocolate-milk aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full-bodied with a velvety, luscious, and chewy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated, providing a gentle glow without being sharp or hot.
