Stout

Tap to rate

Stout is Permon's dark top-fermented beer in the English tradition, brewed with three barley malts and three English hop varieties and hopped in two stages. That gives it a balanced, characteristic taste at a moderate strength. The beer is unfiltered and unpasteurised, free of colourants and additives, and fermented the classic way in open vessels at the brewery in Sokolov.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep black-brown hue with an opaque, dense body characteristic of the style. A persistent tan head forms and clings to the glass with fine retention. Minimal carbonation presents a creamy, compact foam structure typical of classic top-fermented stouts.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt and coffee dominate the nose, supported by subtle English hop character that leans toward earthy and herbal notes rather than aromatic brightness. A touch of gentle bitterness and clean yeast character emerge from the unfiltered, unpasteurized fermentation, with no harsh or vinegary tones.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with balanced malty sweetness and roasted grain character, quickly met by restrained bitterness from the two-stage hopping. Coffee and cocoa undertones provide depth without astringency. At 5% ABV and 12 IBU, the beer achieves a dry, smooth finish that rewards contemplation rather than dominating with alcohol or harsh tannins.

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.

Drink within a year. Standard stouts are best fresh but hold reasonably well for 6–12 months.
