Kueña Cacao Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany to near-black in the glass, with an opaque body that reveals no light. A dense, tan head forms on the pour and persists across the surface with fine, adherent lacing. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate to the style.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with roasted cacao and dark chocolate, grounded in espresso and cocoa powder notes. Beneath sits a subtle earthiness and a whisper of tropical fruit—green banana and stone fruit—that speaks to the Arriba cacao's origin. No sharp alcohol or phenolic edges; the aromatics remain composited and inviting.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and full-bodied, with immediate chocolate and roasted malt character. Mid-palate develops coffee bitterness and a faint tropical sweetness that balances the 40 IBU without sharpness. The finish carries cocoa tannins and a lingering dark-fruit note, leaving the mouth dry but not austere.

◑ Abgang

Medium-long finish with chocolate and coffee holding center stage. Aftertaste is clean and slightly drying, without harshness or undue 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.
