Stag Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep brown to nearly black, with a SRM of 35 placing it at the darker end of the stout spectrum. The head is dense and persistent, with fine bubbles that cling to the glass. Clarity is opaque, as expected for the style; carbonation appears moderate and well-integrated.

◌ Aroma

Cacao and roasted malt dominate the nose, with Madagascar vanilla emerging as a secondary note. The chocolate character is inviting and clean, without harshness. Subtle cocoa butter and a faint woodiness round out the aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

Chocolate leads on the palate, supported by rich, smooth malt character that belies the modest 4.2% ABV. Vanilla weaves through the mid-palate with gentle sweetness. Bitterness remains restrained at 25 IBU, allowing the adjunct flavors to shine without astringency.

◑ Abgang

The finish is dry and lingering, with chocolate and a hint of cocoa powder persisting on the palate. Warmth dissipates cleanly, leaving no harsh edges.
