🌍 Australia · Foreign Extra Stout · One of 11 Foreign Extra Stouts in hopIQ

Brewed from pale malt and dark roasted barley on the brewery's traditional yeast, this is the dark beer of the range. The roasted barley carries deep chocolate and coffee notes, with toffee and caramel sweetness underneath and a nutty, roasty edge. The body is full and velvety and the carbonation soft. Bitterness comes largely from the roast and drifts gently into a long, dry finish.

◌ Aroma

Roasted barley dominates the nose, delivering pronounced dark chocolate and espresso notes with an earthy, slightly burnt edge. Underneath lies a subtle sweetness of toffee and caramel, while a whisper of hazelnut adds textural complexity. The overall impression is toasted and warming, without aggressive harshness.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and full-bodied, with roasted and nutty flavors immediately evident. Chocolate and coffee move through the mid-palate in equal measure, underpinned by caramel sweetness that prevents the roast from becoming austere. Bitterness builds gently from the dark malt character, creating structure without harshness.
