Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Jule Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep black color with opaque clarity typical of the stout style. A handsome, creamy head forms and persists with good retention, leaving fine lacing on the glass as the beer is consumed. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting the visual density.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted and dark malt character, grounded and full. Star anise, English liquorice, and fennel seed create a distinctive spice and herbal aromatic layer that sits comfortably above the malt base. Subtle notes of dark chocolate and coffee emerge underneath, adding complexity without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate is creamy and full-bodied, with pronounced malt sweetness that provides immediate richness. Spice flavors from the adjunct blend—fennel, liquorice, and anise—weave through the mid-palate, supported by chocolate and roasted grain. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, allowing the malt and spice to remain central; the finish is smooth rather than sharp.

◑ Finish

The finish is lingering and warming, with residual malt sweetness and spice notes persisting gently. No harsh edges; the 7.6% ABV integrates smoothly into the overall impression.

Serve at 10–14°C

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.
