The Flying Inn

The Flying Inn Hefesto is a commanding American Stout that marries aggressive roasted malts with an indulgent double dose of cocoa and a persistent chili heat. At 10% ABV, it presents a deep profile of bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee beans, underscored by a resinous hop character typical of the style. The inclusion of chili adds complex layers of dried pepper skin and a warming capsaicin prickle that complements the rich, dark grain bill. This is a bold, full-bodied experience where the decadent cocoa sweetness is expertly balanced by a firm hop bitterness and a clean, lingering spice finish.

Appearance. Opaque jet black in color (40 SRM); large, persistent light-brown head with thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromas of dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and heavily roasted coffee; subtle earthy chili pepper skin and a moderate citrusy hop presence; smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth.

Taste. Initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and espresso; rich double cocoa depth leads into a medium-high bitterness; resinous hop flavors are present mid-palate; earthy chili flavor provides a distinct spice that lingers into a dry, roasted finish with moderate heat.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and creamy; moderate carbonation; significant but smooth alcohol warmth; distinct chili-derived tingle on the tongue and throat with low astringency.
