Stroopwafel Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep brown to near-black with a SRM of 35, presenting a dense opaque body that reveals mahogany hues when held to light. A thick, tan head forms on the pour with promising retention and lacing, while fine carbonation threads rise steadily through the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with warm caramel and vanilla sweetness, followed by subtle cinnamon spice and roasted malt depth. Underlying notes of dark chocolate and a whisper of coffee ground provide complexity without astringency, while the complex malt bill creates a rich, inviting character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters soft and full-bodied with pronounced caramel and chocolate notes that dominate the mid-palate. Vanilla and cinnamon add gentle warmth and complexity, supported by the dark and crystal Malz providing both sweetness and roasted depth. The 35 IBU bitterness remains restrained, allowing malt character to shine through without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is smooth and lingering, with caramel and chocolate notes persisting through a warm aftertaste. A gentle spice echo and subtle roasted undertone extend the experience without becoming dry or astringent.
