🌍 France · Dry Stout · One of 4 Dry Stouts in hopIQ

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Coreff Stout

Appearance

Deep black with a ruby undertone when held to light. The nitrogen tap produces a thick, creamy head that clings to the glass in dense, persistent lacing — characteristic of the brewery's exclusive draught presentation. The body is opaque and full, with virtually no light transmission.

Aroma

Roasted barley dominates the nose, delivering earthy, slightly charred grain notes with a subtle coffee undertone. Toast and caramel sweetness emerge beneath, adding warmth without cloying. The overall aroma is restrained and dry, with minimal hop aromatics — the character rests entirely in the malt bill.

Taste

The palate opens with a pronounced dryness and roasted malt bitterness that builds through the mid-palate. Toasted and caramelized notes provide texture and depth, while a coffee-tinged finish keeps the beer lean and bitter. The nitrogen carbonation creates a smooth, almost creamy mouthfeel that contrasts elegantly with the assertive bitterness.

Finish

The finish is notably dry and lingering, with roasted grain tannins persisting on the palate and a subtle coffee edge that fades slowly. No sweetness remains — the aftertaste is clean, bitter, and remarkably smooth for the beer's assertive character.
