Tarraco Stout
This robust American Stout presents a complex tapestry of roasted intensity and unexpected nuance. Built on a rich foundation of Maris Otter, Lager malt, and Crystal 150, it yields deep layers of cacao, hazelnut, and espresso. The aroma is uniquely layered, transitioning from umami-driven soy sauce to whimsical strawberry caramel, anchored by earthy notes and a cool eucalyptus breeze. On the palate, the experience begins with deceptive smoothness before the assertive 92 IBUs take hold, driven by Chocolate malt and Roasted Barley. It finishes with a lingering, intense bitterness and a touch of liquor-like warmth, embodying a bold, unfiltered interpretation of the style.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Pours with a thick, persistent light tan head that leaves significant lacing. As an unfiltered beer, it may contain visible sediment if disturbed.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity featuring heavy roasted coffee, cacao, and hazelnut. Distinctive notes of soy sauce and dry earth are complemented by unusual strawberry esters and a cooling herbal eucalyptus character.
Taste. Initial malt sweetness with chocolate and nutty flavors quickly gives way to a dominant roast character. The bitterness starts deceptively soft but builds to an intense, aggressive level. Notes of roasted coffee beans and burnt grain persist into a dry, lingering finish with a resinous, menthol-like hop quality.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable creaminess derived from flaked barley. Carbonation is moderate. A smooth but noticeable alcohol warmth is present, finishing with a slight roast-derived astringency that enhances the dryness.
