Entire Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to near-black in the glass, presenting the hallmark darkness of the stout style at 35 SRM. A dense, tan head builds with proper pour and maintains good retention, with fine Schaumkleiden tracking down the glass walls. The body shows full opacity with no visible sediment.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced roasted grain and dark malt character, anchored by a smooth combination of coffee and cocoa. There is no harshness or burnt character despite the dark roast; instead, a subtle sweetness from the Malz frames the front. Hop presence is restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the malt aromatics to dominate without interruption.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and creamy across the palate, with roasted malt leading into layered chocolate and espresso notes. The mid-palate reveals a balanced sweetness—characteristic of a 4.5% ABV stout—with modest bitterness that never dominates. The finish tapers into a long, smooth aftertaste with lingering cocoa and a slight earthiness from the restrained bittering.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste persists long and clean, fading gradually through chocolate and roasted grain impressions without astringency. A warming dryness settles in the mouth, underscoring the beer's digestibility despite its richness.
