Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Quilmes Stout

Appearance

Deep black-brown color with minimal translucence, characteristic of a full roast profile. A dense, tan head forms and recedes to a thin collar with moderate lacing around the glass. Carbonation appears restrained, appropriate for the style.

Aroma

The nose leads with roasted malt and coffee bean, grounded and earthy. Subtle chocolate undertones emerge beneath, accompanied by hints of dark toast. No aggressive hop presence; the aromatic profile remains malt-driven and approachable.

Taste

Entry is smooth and full-bodied without heaviness. Coffee and chocolate malts dominate the mid-palate, layered with subtle toasted grain notes and a mild cocoa sweetness. Bitterness is restrained at 35 IBU, providing balance rather than assertiveness; the finish dries gently without astringency.
