Ticket To Dublin captures the quintessential character of a classic Dublin-type Irish Stout. This sessionable ale presents a stark, roast-forward profile defined by evocative notes of dark coffee and unsweetened chocolate. The aroma is dominated by toasted toast and charred grain, leading into a palate that emphasizes a crisp, remarkably dry finish. At 4.3% ABV, it maintains high drinkability with a lean, light body that balances sharp roasted bitterness against a clean fermentation profile. It is an unapologetically dry and refreshing dark ale, prioritizing a snappy, coffee-like aftertaste that remains smooth and highly approachable.
Appearance.Jet black in the glass, though showing deep ruby highlights at the edges. Features a persistent, thick, and creamy tan head with excellent lacing. Completely opaque.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity of roasted grain, specifically reminiscent of cold-brew coffee and scorched toast. Secondary notes of cocoa powder and dark chocolate are present. Clean fermentation with very low esters and no perceived hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression of sharp roasted grain bitterness followed by coffee-like acidity and bittersweet chocolate. The balance is firmly bitter and dry. Hop flavor is low and earthy, while the finish is exceptionally clean, dry, and coffee-like with no lingering malt sweetness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a light prickle that enhances the dry finish. No alcohol warmth and very low grain astringency.
