White Mocha Stout

Tap to rate

Decadent notes of white chocolate with vanilla meet roasted coffee aromas in this pale-coloured stout. Pale malts replace dark roasted ones, so the colour stays light while the flavour stays rich, and oats and wheat add body. At 5.6% ABV and 10 IBU, it is a national seasonal from September to February.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for White Mocha Stout

◎ Appearance

Pale amber to light brown in color, atypical for the stout category due to the use of pale malts rather than dark roasted varieties. The beer presents excellent clarity with a dense, creamy head that adheres well to the glass. Carbonation is moderate and evenly dispersed, creating fine bubbles that sustain the foam structure.
