Stout

Spain·Irish Dry Stout
Tap to rate

SanFrutos brings a dark Irish dry stout of surprising drinkability. Black in the glass with an intense flavor profile: cocoa and roasted coffee notes emerge first, followed by a biscuit dryness that keeps the palate clean. The 4.2% alcohol sits low enough to make this a beer for lingering, not rushing—the kind you might return to through an evening without fatigue. Roasted grain and chocolate develop together, creating depth without heaviness. Serve cool, around 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep black color with a thin, persistent tan head that clings to the glass in fine lacing. The beer presents itself with excellent clarity despite its dark complexion, revealing good carbonation in the form of fine bubbles rising steadily. The body appears lean and well-defined rather than opaque.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with roasted grain and dark chocolate notes, followed by distinct coffee and cocoa undertones. A subtle biscuit sweetness emerges beneath the roasted character, with no harsh burnt edges. The gluten-free brewing contributes to a clean, focused aromatic profile without adjunct fatigue.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and dry with immediate roasted malt presence balanced by smooth chocolate and coffee flavors. The mid-palate develops cocoa complexity and a subtle biscuit character, while the 35 IBU provides a restrained, measured bitterness that complements rather than dominates. Body remains featherweight despite the intensity of flavor, making each sip approachable.

◑ Finish

The finish is short to medium, fading cleanly into a dry cocoa-tinged aftertaste. No lingering astringency or metallic notes; instead, a gentle coffee and chocolate residue persists briefly on the palate.

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.
