Schubidu Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep, opaque black with a rich coffee-brown hue at the edges when held to light. A dense tan head builds quickly and clings to the glass in fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, supporting a creamy collar that fades gradually.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by roasted malt character—dark espresso, cocoa powder, and a subtle toasted grain foundation. East Kent Golding and Perle hops contribute earthy undertones without asserting themselves. A hint of dark caramel sweetness emerges beneath the roast, balanced by clean fermentation character.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and smooth, with immediate roast-driven flavors of coffee and dark chocolate coating the palate. The mid-palate develops malty sweetness from Cara Dunkel and wheat malts, creating a creamy, almost luxurious texture. Bittering remains restrained at 40 IBU, allowing the roasted character and chocolate notes to finish their arc without harsh edges.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and dry, with coffee and cocoa notes lingering gracefully. The 7.7% ABV is present but never harsh, adding a subtle warming note that extends the aftertaste without dominating.
