Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for We All Scream
◎ Appearance
Opaque, nearly black in color with a deep brown edge when held to light. A dense, tan foam head forms on the pour and persists with good retention, leaving thick lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate, appropriate for the style's weight and alcohol content.
◌ Aroma
Dark chocolate dominates the nose, layered with ripe red-fruit notes from the port barrel aging. Beneath lies Madagascar vanilla and subtle cocoa, with a gentle alcohol warmth noticeable at the rim. The strawberry contribution emerges on longer nosing, adding brightness to the darker, more wine-forward base.
◐ Taste
Entry is rich and full-bodied, with prominent dark chocolate and cacao nib character. Mid-palate reveals a ripe strawberry sweetness and smooth vanilla oak, while the port barrel aging contributes a dry, slightly tannic red-wine quality. Bitterness is measured at 65 IBU, providing structure without harshness, while the sweetness remains present throughout the palate.
◑ Finish
The finish is long and warming, with persistent alcohol heat from the 15.1% ABV. Dark chocolate and a light tartness from the fruit linger, fading gradually into a dry, slightly vinous aftertaste.
