🌍 United States · Irish Dry Stout · One of 25 Irish Dry Stouts in hopIQ

Milagro is a dry stout brewed with organic, shade-grown coffee from Costa Rica, hand-roasted in Manuel Antonio, where Pure Project was first conceived, and with Tahitian vanilla beans. Roasted malt and fresh coffee lead the aroma, and dark chocolate with a light vanilla sweetness follows on the palate. Dispensed with nitrogen, it has a creamy, soft texture, while the finish stays roasty and fairly dry, ending on a note of baking chocolate.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Milagro

◎ Appearance

Deep black with ruby highlights at the rim, this stout presents an opaque, impenetrable body. A dense, creamy head forms and clings persistently to the glass, leaving fine lacing on each sip. The nitrogen carbonation creates a soft, cascading visual character typical of cask-conditioned service.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt and freshly ground coffee dominate the nose, grounded and earthy. Beneath lies a gentle Tahitian vanilla sweetness that emerges without becoming cloying. The bouquet is restrained and precise, inviting without overwhelming.

◐ Taste

Dark chocolate enters first, broad and cocoa-forward across the palate, followed by the pronounced presence of Costa Rican coffee. Vanilla provides a subtle counterpoint mid-palate, adding depth without dominance. The bittering is moderate and well-integrated, supporting rather than leading the profile.
