Sweet Stout 6 º

Vocation Brewery

This celebratory Sweet Stout pours with a decadent, velvety texture, immediately releasing an inviting aroma of rich chocolate and sticky-sweet caramel. To honor a decade of brewing, the profile is layered with warm vanilla and vibrant, jammy notes of blueberries and a delicate touch of cherry. The palate follows the nose, where a classic chocolate malt base provides a sturdy foundation for the dessert-forward additions. It offers a luxurious, cream-like sweetness characteristic of the style, balancing mild roasted grains with a lush fruitiness that lingers softly. Smooth and indulgent, it perfectly captures the essence of a celebratory birthday treat with a full, coating mouthfeel.

Appearance. Opaque, deep ebony to black (35-40 SRM) with a dense, creamy, tan head that exhibits excellent retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Dominated by dark chocolate, rich caramel, and aromatic vanilla. Significant fruit-forward notes of sweet blueberry and subtle tart cherry mingle with a mild, coffee-like roasted grain background. Low earthy hop character and moderate fruity esters.

Taste. High initial sweetness reminiscent of cake frosting and caramel. Distinctive chocolate flavors provide a mid-palate depth, complemented by vibrant blueberry and a hint of cherry. Bitterness is low to moderate, providing just enough structure to prevent cloying. The finish is long and sweet with lingering notes of vanilla and dark fruit.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and notably creamy with a rich, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the dessert-like character without any harshness or astringency.
