Panty – Stout

Oedipus Brewing
Tap to rate
🌍 Netherlands · Stout · One of 40 Stouts in hopIQ

Panty pours dark and composed under a soft head that hints at the smooth structure beneath. The mouthfeel stays gentle despite the colour — roasted grain and chocolate lead the nose without turning harsh or sweet. Liquorice drifts through, anchoring the whole in something earthy. The finish runs dry, leaving the roast and chocolate behind without clinging. A stout for the late evening, undemanding yet present.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Panty – Stout

Appearance

Panty presents a dense, dark brown to near-black body that speaks to its roasted character without appearing opaque or lifeless. A soft, persistent head forms at the pour, displaying fine retention and gentle lacing that suggests a well-structured malt backbone. The overall presentation is composed and inviting—colour-dark yet approachable.

Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted grain and dark chocolate, neither aggressive nor cloying, creating an immediately balanced impression. Liquorice weaves through the mid-range, grounding the aromatics in an earthy, mineral quality that prevents sweetness from dominating. Coffee undertones emerge on closer inspection, reinforcing the roast without harshness.

Taste

The palate entry is surprisingly gentle despite the dark appearance—roast and chocolate form the primary flavour scaffold, supported by a dry, slightly bitter backbone. Mid-palate richness develops without heaviness; liquorice and earthy mineral notes anchor the profile, while a creamy mouthfeel smooths the overall structure. Dark fruit undertones add subtle complexity without demanding attention.
