NUA Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown with a dense, fine-pored head of cream-colored foam, characteristic of nitrogen carbonation. The head clings persistently to the glass with excellent lacing, leaving a lasting impression of the pour. The body presents opaque darkness with no light transmission, befitting an extra stout.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted malt and cocoa powder, supported by subtle coffee bean notes that develop on gentle swirling. Light suggestions of chocolate and a faint earthiness emerge beneath, while fermentation remains restrained and clean. No hop character asserts itself; the aroma remains solidly malt-driven.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and creamy, with roasted grain delivering a gentle bitterness balanced by a mild residual sweetness. The mid-palate maintains this equilibrium—cocoa and subtle coffee notes continue through the center, supported by a velvety body that coats without heaviness. Bitterness resolves to a pleasant, measured finish rather than sharp or aggressive.

◑ Abgang

The finish is medium-length, fading gradually with lingering roasted malt and a whisper of chocolate. Aftertaste remains dry without astringency, leaving the palate clean and inviting another sip.
