Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Boxing Bear Wired Bear Coffee Stout
◎ Appearance
Deep ebony black with a dark brown tint, characteristic of a traditional stout. A modest tan head forms with good retention, settling into a thin collar that clings to the glass. The beer exhibits excellent clarity despite its opaque coloring, with minimal carbonation visible.
◌ Aroma
The nose is dominated by rich, freshly roasted coffee character from the locally sourced New Mexican beans, immediately captivating the senses. Supporting notes of roasted barley and dark chocolate create a complex backdrop, with subtle earthy undertones that suggest quality terroir in the coffee selection. The aromatic profile is inviting and approachable, without harsh roasted grain notes.
◐ Taste
The palate delivers smooth, well-integrated coffee flavors that lead into balanced roasted malt notes and dark chocolate undertones. The mid-palate is creamy and full-bodied despite the modest 6.2% ABV, with nutty and earthy dimensions adding complexity. A restrained bitterness at 35 IBUs provides structure without overwhelming the coffee and chocolate character.
◑ Finish
The finish is notably clean and dry, allowing the roasted coffee character to linger pleasantly without residual sweetness. A subtle chocolate and coffee aftertaste persists on the palate, inviting another sip.
