🌍 United States · Irish Dry Stout · One of 8 Irish Dry Stouts in hopIQ

Denali's dry Irish stout, served with nitrogen — dense, cascading, silky. Roasted barley delivers coffee-forward flavor and the classic dry finish; flaked barley adds smoothness and body without sweetness. Named for the mighty Chulitna River. The Alaskan take on Guinness, served with the same nitro theatre.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Chuli Stout

Appearance

Near-black in color with a deep brown edge to the light, revealing the density characteristic of a well-crafted dry Irish stout. The nitrogen cascade creates a dense, creamy head that clings persistently to the glass, leaving distinct lacing as the beer recedes. The body is opaque and still.

Aroma

Roasted barley dominates the nose, delivering a pronounced coffee character with subtle undertones of cocoa and dark chocolate. The aroma is dry and earthy, with a faint suggestion of grain and a clean, mineral backdrop that prevents any sweetness from surfacing.

Taste

The palate opens with intense roasted and coffee flavors, grounded by the smoothness that flaked barley imparts. The full body carries these roasted notes through the mid-palate with a creamy mouthfeel, while moderate bitterness from the 55 IBUs provides structure without harshness. Sweetness remains restrained, allowing the dry, mineralized character to emerge cleanly.
