Let's Get Stout

Netherlands·Dry Stout
Tap to rate

A classic dry stout with a modern twist: roasted coffee and dark chocolate, a dry finish and low alcohol at 4.2% ABV. Developed with Alder Beer Co. from Italy as Chapter 4 of the 2026 series. A nitro version on tap, in the Jopenkerk and other venues, gives it a creamy body and a cascading pour. Jopen says its low alcohol keeps it accessible for several rounds.

AI-generated sensory profile for Let's Get Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep garnet-brown to near-black, with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent head that clings to the glass in fine lacing. The nitro version displays a characteristic creamy foam and smooth cascading pour, while still-carbonated versions show tighter, more energetic bubbles.

◌ Aroma

Prominent roasted coffee and dark chocolate dominate the nose, complemented by subtle notes of dark fruit. The roast character is balanced and refined rather than acrid, with no harsh grain or ash notes. A light sweetness from the dark malz softens the overall impression.

◐ Taste

Entry is smooth and creamy, with roasted coffee and chocolate flavors building through the mid-palate alongside a dry, clean bitterness. The 40 IBU provides structure without aggression, while the low 4.2% ABV keeps the beer approachable and drinkable. Finish is notably dry, with lingering coffee and a slight cocoa dryness on the tongue.

◑ Finish

The dry finish persists for several seconds, with coffee and cocoa tannins creating a light astringency. No alcohol warmth intrudes, making this ideal for extended sipping or multiple rounds.

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.
