Philter Extra Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep black-brown body with excellent clarity and a dense, persistent tan head that clings to the glass in fine lacing. The carbonation is restrained, typical of the Irish dry stout tradition, creating a smooth, creamy visual presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted barley and espresso, followed by dark chocolate and a subtle undertone of dried stone fruit. A delicate ashy note sits in the background, balanced by a gentle earthiness that speaks to the careful roast profile of the dark malts.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and dry on the palate despite the dark malt character, with coffee and cocoa flavors building through the mid-palate. The roasted grain dryness dominates, supported by a whisper of smoke and subtle dark fruit; bitterness is restrained and integrated rather than sharp.

◑ Finish

The finish is characteristically dry and slightly ashy, with coffee and roasted notes lingering gently on the palate. No sweetness intrudes; the aftertaste remains clean and fades to a pleasant dryness.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
