Bojanter

Tap to rate

Bojanter takes its name from an old regional Irish word for a large bottle of stout. This dry Irish stout is built on toasted dark malts and extra roasted barley, with chocolate malt, wheat malt and Nugget hops. Near black with a tan head, it smells of rich roasted espresso and sweet molasses. The roast carries through on the palate with dark bitter chocolate underneath, and the beer closes with roast coffee bitterness and a fine dry finish.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Bojanter

◎ Appearance

Bojanter presents a near-black body with excellent opacity, crowned by a substantial tan head that settles into fine, persistent lacing along the glass. The deep auburn-black hue speaks to the heavy roasting of barley and dark malts in the grist. Carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated, supporting a creamy, durable foam structure.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with assertive roasted espresso and burnt grain character, underpinned by notes of sweet molasses and dark caramel. Chocolate malt contributes subtle cocoa and toasted undertones without dominating. The overall profile is dry and roasty rather than fruity or spiced, with Nugget hops providing a restrained herbal backbone that does not intrude.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with prominent dark roast flavors and a framework of dark bitter chocolate. The mid-palate develops coffee bitterness and toasted grain depth, while the wheat malt contributes a subtle silken texture. Bitterness builds steadily but remains moderate at 24 IBU, finishing with roast coffee notes and a clean, dry closure that avoids any astringency.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and bone-dry, with lingering roast coffee and burnt grain notes fading cleanly over 30–40 seconds. No sweetness or residual richness lingers; the aftertaste remains true to the beer's roasted character.

Serve at 10–14°C

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

Pint glass

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
