🌍 Portugal · Non-Alcoholic Stout · One of 1 Non-Alcoholic Stouts in hopIQ

A non-alcoholic stout that proves alcohol isn't required for depth. Preta arrives dark and steady-headed, its stable foam holding fast above notes of roasted malt and coffee that anchor the glass. Where lighter beers scatter across the palate, this one settles into a deliberate balance: chocolate and caramel sweetness threading through a measured bitterness, neither overpowering the other. The body stays lithe without thinning into wisp—a beer that feels substantial despite its zero percent. Best served cool, it suits the quiet hour after dinner when you want flavour without the alcohol's weight.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Sagres Preta 0.0

Appearance

Deep mahogany to near-black in the glass, with an SRM of 35 placing it firmly in stout territory. The head builds substantial and stable, clinging to the rim with a fine tan collar that persists throughout the pour. Carbonation is measured and gentle, befitting a non-alcoholic interpretation where restraint preserves the beer's structural integrity.

Aroma

Roasted malt takes the lead, delivering notes of dark chocolate and freshly ground coffee beans that frame the nose. Caramel sweetness threads beneath, adding a subtle warmth without veering into treacle. The overall character is grounded and deliberate—no alcohol vapours to sharpen the edges, allowing the roasted grain to speak with clarity.

Taste

The palate enters with chocolate and caramel, establishing a foundation of gentle sweetness that refuses to cloy. Mid-palate introduces a measured roasted bitterness—coffee-forward and restrained—that balances the opening without dominating. The body remains lithe yet tactile, neither thin nor substantial, creating an impression of substance despite the zero alcohol. Finish settles into a dry roasted grain character with lingering chocolate undertones.

Finish

Medium-length and clean, with the roasted bitterness gradually receding into a cocoa powder dryness. No hot alcohol burn or thin watering-out; instead, a composed exit that leaves the palate settled and ready for reflection.
