Torrside Brewing Best Intentions
Foreign Extra Stout 5.9 º
Best Intentions presents as a deep, evocative Export Stout, drawing inspiration from late-Victorian 1897 recipes. It balances a robust roast profile of dark chocolate and espresso against a surprisingly nimble 5.9% frame. The sensory journey is defined by deep layers of burnt grain and subtle molasses, underpinned by a firm English hop bitterness. This Foreign Extra Stout avoids the excessive sweetness of modern stouts, favoring a dry, slightly vinous finish that suggests a historic export character. Earthy and herbal notes linger alongside a rich, tan foam, creating a sophisticated and transportive dark ale experience.
Appearance. Very deep black and opaque (SRM 35-40). Large, dense tan head with excellent retention and thick lacing.
Aroma. High intensity roast with dominant notes of dark chocolate and cold-brew coffee. Moderate dark fruit esters reminiscent of dried plums or figs. Low earthy hop aroma and very low hints of licorice or molasses.
Taste. Bold initial impression of roasted grain and cocoa powder. Medium-high bitterness from both roasted malts and hops. The mid-palate reveals subtle herbal hop flavors and a faint vinous edge. Finishes moderately dry and clean with a lingering roasted coffee aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a smooth, creamy texture. Moderate carbonation. Subtle alcohol warmth, well-integrated for its strength. Lacks grain-derived astringency.
