Dubai Chocolate Stout

Tap to rate

Pistachio and chocolate got the Sixpoint team thinking, and the result is this 6.7% stout inspired by the Dubai chocolate craze, brewed with tahini, pistachio and cacao nibs. It pours jet black under a silky tan head, with dark chocolate, toasted sesame and nutty depth, and finishes smooth and velvety.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with pronounced chocolate and tahini smoothness, building a rich, creamy mouthfeel that coats without heaviness. Nutty undertones and a gentle roasted quality persist through the mid-palate, with restrained bitterness (35 IBU) providing structure rather than assertiveness.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
