Siren Broken Dream is an unctuous and moreish Oatmeal Stout that redefines the style through a luxurious breakfast lens. The sensory profile is dominated by a deep indulgence of chocolate and specialty malts, providing a rich foundation for the addition of carefully selected Climpson & Sons espresso. The inclusion of milk sugar and oats creates a velvety, coffee-and-cream character that balances the roasted bitterness. Notes of dark cocoa and freshly pulled espresso shots lead the experience, resulting in a smooth, lingering finish. This award-winning beer prioritizes a silky texture and complex roast, delivering a sophisticated sensory journey from first sniff to the final, creamy swallow.
Appearance.Opaque, deep ebony to black (38 SRM). Topped by a thick, persistent, creamy tan head that leaves significant lacing on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity aroma of roasted espresso and dark chocolate. Prominent coffee notes from the Climpson & Sons addition blend with a sweet, milk-like creaminess. Subtle dark fruit esters and a hint of nutty oatmeal are present.
Taste.Initial impression is rich milk chocolate and roasted grain. The Climpson & Sons espresso provides a sophisticated coffee layer, perfectly balanced by the sweetness of milk sugar. Bitterness is moderate but softened by the creamy malt backbone. The finish is medium-sweet with a lingering, smooth roasted aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and unctuous with a silky, velvety texture derived from the combination of oats and lactose. Moderate carbonation with a light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
