ShinDigger

This Spiced Tea Stout offers an aromatic journey led by a fragrant bouquet of chai botanicals. Warming notes of cinnamon, cardamom, and pungent ginger intertwine with the robust roasted backbone of the base Stout. On the palate, the characteristic bitterness of black tea provides a sophisticated structure, balancing the rich flavors of dark chocolate and toasted grains. The infusion creates a comforting, multifaceted experience where the spices are assertive yet integrated, never overshadowing the underlying malt complexity. It finishes with a clean, spicy linger that invites another sip, perfectly capturing the essence of a spiced tea latte in beer form.

Appearance. Deep ebony (SRM 35-40) with a persistent, creamy tan head that leaves delicate lacing. Opaque and dark, appearing solid in the glass.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromatics of spicy cardamom, sweet cinnamon, and a sharp ginger zing. These are supported by a moderate roasted malt character suggesting dark cocoa and lightly charred coffee. Low earthy hop notes are barely perceptible beneath the spice.

Taste. Initial impression of zesty spices followed immediately by roasted malt bitterness. Mid-palate reveals flavors of steeped black tea and bitter chocolate. The chai spices provide a prickle of heat, while the bitterness is derived from both dark malts and spice tannins. Finishes dry and spicy with a lingering tea-like astringency.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. A subtle, pleasant tea-leaf astringency adds texture. Alcohol warmth is very low, making for a smooth, approachable mouthfeel.
