City Wide Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep black-brown color with a opaque body characteristic of the style. A modest tan head forms and holds with decent persistence, leaving fine lacing on the glass as the beer is consumed. The dense, dark appearance signals the roasted character within.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted coffee and dark cocoa, earthy and inviting without aggressive astringency. Beneath lies a subtle nuttiness and bready malt sweetness that grounds the roast. No hop aromatics intrude; this is a malt-forward expression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and creamy, with roasted grain and cocoa flavors dominating the mid-palate. The 35 IBU provide a gentle drying edge that prevents the beer from sliding into dessert territory, while bready and dark fruit notes add subtle complexity. Body is soft and approachable, befitting the session strength.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and relatively quick, leaving behind lingering roast and cocoa with a faint nutty echo. No clinging sweetness; the aftertaste cleanses rather than coats.

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.
