Black Chocolate Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep ebony black with an impenetrable opacity that reveals the beer's substantial malt bill. A thick, creamy tan head forms and persists admirably, indicative of the rich body and carbonation level. The viscous coating on the glass suggests excellent mouthfeel to come.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by rich dark chocolate and roasted cocoa powder, with underlying notes of dark roasted malt and espresso. Subtle warming alcohol vapors emerge beneath the dominant chocolate character, creating an inviting and dessert-like bouquet. There's a gentle cocoa butter sweetness that balances the roasted grain complexity.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with deep roasted malt flavors that transition seamlessly into smooth dark chocolate and cocoa notes on the mid-palate. The full body provides excellent texture, while the 75 IBUs deliver a measured bitterness that complements rather than overwhelms the chocolate character. Warming alcohol notes emerge gracefully without harshness, enhancing the dessert-like experience.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and lingering, with dark chocolate and cocoa powder notes persisting on the palate well after swallowing. The warming alcohol provides a satisfying conclusion without excessive heat, leaving a sophisticated, bittersweet aftertaste.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
