Gablitzer Whiskey Stout

Tap to rate

The "e" in Whiskey is deliberate: the peated whiskey malt really does come from Ireland. Together with the aroma hops, the peating gives this stout a particularly fine note that still recalls the rough climate of the Irish island. One of the brewer's two specialities, created purely for the joy of experimenting.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Gablitzer Whiskey Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to black, opaque and impenetrable to light. A dense, tan head forms and persists with fine lacing that clings to the glass throughout the pour. The body carries a full, matte appearance befitting the style.

◌ Aroma

Smoke and peat rise immediately from the glass, delivering that character of windswept Irish moorland. Behind the phenolic notes sit earthy, roasted malts with subtle grain depth. Noble hop character adds a restrained herbal frame without overwhelming the whiskey-malt foundation.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with soft smoke and dark chocolate, followed by a controlled bitterness that sits at 35 IBU—enough to balance without dominating. Roasted malt character carries through the middle, supported by a dry, slightly ashy minerality. The finish edges toward drying without harsh astringency, leaving the peated notes foremost.

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.

Can be cellared 2–5 years. Develops dark fruit, leather and port-like complexity with age.
