Stout 6.6 º

Vocation Brewery

This American Stout presents an indulgent, multi-layered profile where roasted warmth meets bright, jammy raspberry. The signature dark malt base offers deep notes of roasted coffee and dark chocolate, while additions of white chocolate and vanilla create a silky, decadent mid-palate. These dessert-like elements are balanced by the style’s characteristic American hop bitterness, preventing the jammy sweetness from becoming cloying. The result is a complex, medium-full-bodied experience that weaves together charred grain character with a velvety, fruit-forward finish, maintaining the assertive roast expected of its class while delivering an irresistibly indulgent sensory experience.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40). Topped with a thick, persistent tan head that leaves dense lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate-high intensity featuring a blend of roasted coffee and dark cocoa. Prominent notes of fresh raspberry jam and creamy white chocolate dominate the foreground, backed by a subtle hint of vanilla and a very low, resinous hop presence.

Taste. Initial flavors of bittersweet chocolate and espresso give way to a bright raspberry tartness. The middle is defined by a creamy, white chocolate sweetness and vanilla bean. Moderate bitterness from roasted grains and American hops provides balance, leading to a lingering finish of dark fruit and roasted malt.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a noticeably silky and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays a light, smooth alcohol warmth at 6.6% ABV with minimal roast-derived astringency.
