Batemans x Titanic – Stoke'd

◎ Appearance

Deep brown complexion with warm mahogany highlights, characteristic of the 30 SRM profile. The beer presents good clarity with a dense, persistent tan head that clings to the glass with visible lacing. Moderate carbonation creates fine bubbles that travel steadily through the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted chocolate and toasted grain notes from the pale chocolate malt base, grounded by caramel sweetness. Citrus brightness from Amarillo and Simcoe hops emerges as the beer warms, offering zesty orange and tangerine aromatics. Supporting notes of hazelnut and subtle spice round out the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with full malty richness and chocolate-forward character, developing nutty and caramel notes across the mid-palate. Citrus from the Amarillo hop selection provides pleasant brightness and counter-balance to the sweet malts. The finish transitions to a smooth, satisfying bitterness—clean at 50 IBUs without harshness—leaving a dry, slightly peppery lingering aftertaste.

◑ Finish

Medium-length finish with a gentle fade of toasted grain and subtle dark fruit undertones. The bitterness resolves cleanly, leaving a dry palate and inviting another sip.
