Duits & Lauret Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black color with an opaque body characteristic of the style. A dense, tan head forms with solid retention and fine Schaumkleiden down the glass. Carbonation is moderate, allowing the beer's weight and structure to show clearly.

◌ Aroma

Coffee and dark chocolate dominate the nose with equal presence, supported by pronounced roasted grain and cocoa undertones. A subtle earthiness and hint of dark dried fruit emerge beneath the primary roasted notes, creating a complex, inviting profile without hop assertiveness.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with roasted malt and bitter chocolate, progressing to a fuller mid-palate where coffee bitterness and creamy body develop. A pleasant, measured bitterness (35 IBU) provides structure without harshness, while dark fruit and subtle sweetness balance the roasted character throughout.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with lingering roasted and coffee notes fading to a slight cocoa sweetness. The aftertaste is smooth and brief, leaving no harsh edges.
