Tyris Stout presents a modern, dessert-influenced take on the American Stout, blending traditional roasted foundations with the sensory profile of a pastry stout. The aromatic experience opens with inviting notes of roasted coffee and dark chocolate, which evolve to reveal fresh, aromatic raspberry. On the palate, the use of lactose and cereal flakes provides a medium sweetness and a silky, creamy delivery that softens the moderate bitterness. At 5.4% ABV, it remains approachable, balancing the intensity of bittersweet cocoa with the vibrant acidity of red fruits, resulting in a smooth, easy-drinking dark ale that finishes with a lingering harmony of fruit and toasted grain.
Appearance.Jet black and opaque (SRM 38-40). Pours with a thick, persistent tan head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. Distinctive aromas of roasted coffee beans and bittersweet cocoa are prominent, complemented by a fresh, tart raspberry character that develops as the beer warms. Low earthy hop aroma; no perceptible esters or alcohol harshness.
Taste.Leading with roasted malt flavors of espresso and dark chocolate. The raspberry presence is more intense in the flavor, providing a bright counterpoint to the medium sweetness of the lactose. Bitterness is moderate and well-integrated, lacking the aggressive burnt edge often found in the style. The finish is smooth and balanced between chocolatey sweetness and roasted dryness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a notably silky and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Very smooth with no alcohol warmth or astringency, making it exceptionally easy to drink.
