Bullseye Nitro Stout

Tap to rate

Bullseye is a 4 % Irish stout poured on nitrogen, which lends it a smooth, creamy texture. Chocolate malt, chocolate wheat and a share of oak-smoked wheat go into the grist, with Magnum as the only hop. Cocoa and coffee carry the flavour, backed by roasted grain and a faint note of smoke. For all the softness the finish stays clean and dry. The recipe does without any additions.

◐ Taste

The palate opens smooth and creamy, with chocolate malt and roasted grain providing the foundation. Coffee and cocoa develop through the mid-palate, while the oak-smoked wheat adds a faint, dry spice. Bitterness remains restrained at 40 IBU, allowing the roast character to dominate without becoming harsh.

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.
