Ginger Gothic

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black in colour, characteristic of a traditional stout. The beer presents excellent clarity despite its opacity, with a dense, tan-coloured head that demonstrates good retention and forms fine lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt dominates the nose, offering dark chocolate, cocoa, and subtle espresso notes. The ginger infusion emerges as a spice-forward complement without overwhelming the malt foundation, lending a gentle warming quality. A trace of honey sweetness lingers beneath, rounding the aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with the smooth, full body characteristic of the Gothic Stout lineage. Roasted grain and cocoa form the core, while honey and ginger weave through the mid-palate with restrained sweetness and subtle heat. Bitterness remains balanced at 35 IBU, providing structure without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with roasted malt and ginger lingering for a medium length. A subtle honey sweetness fades gradually, leaving a warm, spiced aftertaste.
