Beamish Irish Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep ebony black color with exceptional clarity despite its opaque darkness. A dense, velvety head of rich tan foam forms immediately and maintains excellent retention, characteristic of a well-crafted Irish stout. The visual presentation exemplifies classic stout aesthetics with its stark contrast between the dark liquid and persistent creamy collar.

◌ Aroma

The nose presents a balanced array of roasted malt character with prominent notes of bitter coffee and dark chocolate. Subtle smoky undertones complement the roasted grain foundation without overwhelming the palate. The aroma is clean and inviting, drawing you into the rich malty complexity beneath.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with smooth, creamy roasted malt flavors that coat the mouth with a full body despite the modest 4.2% ABV. Mid-palate reveals layers of coffee and dark chocolate with a subtle dry quality that prevents any cloying sweetness. The bitterness builds gradually, finishing with a clean, well-integrated hop character at 45 IBUs that complements rather than dominates.

◑ Abgang

A lingering dry finish with persistent dark chocolate and coffee notes that gracefully fade. The aftertaste remains clean and crisp, leaving a satisfying bitter edge that invites the next sip without any harsh astringency.

Etwas wärmer als erwartet. 10–13°C lässt die gerösteten Malz-, Schokoladen- und Kaffeenoten vollständig entfalten.

Der Klassiker — vielseitig, angenehm zu halten und hält das Bier kühl. Kein Schnickschnack: nur das Bier.
