Urban Camo

Tap to rate

Caramelized sugar and dark chocolate meet pineapple and toasted coconut in this tropical stout. Crystal malts and turbinado sugar build a warm, rum-like body, and the Sabro and Idaho 7 hops bring the tropical lift. A pilot release from the 8-barrel system in Blanco, brewed together with a San Antonio brewery at 6.8% ABV.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with candied tropical fruit—pineapple and ripe stone fruit—layered over roasted cocoa and caramelized malt sweetness. Sabro and Idaho 7 hops push forward a subtle coconut-toasted grain character, while darker roasted notes anchor the profile. A soft rum-like warmth emerges without alcohol burn.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and smooth, with tropical stone fruit and caramel building immediately on the palate. Mid-palate reveals layered dark chocolate, toasted coconut, and a gentle fruity sweetness from the turbinado sugar and crystal malts. Bitterness is restrained at 40 IBU, allowing the malt character to dominate while the hops provide balance rather than sharp edge.

◑ Finish

The finish is warm and moderately long, with lingering chocolate and coconut notes fading into subtle roasted grain. A faint boozy warmth persists, characteristic of the 6.8% ABV and rum-like body structure.

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.
