Chick-O-Stick Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown color with minimal translucency, typical of the Imperial Stout style at SRM 40. A dense, creamy head forms on the pour and clings persistently to the glass wall. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, allowing the rich body to present without excessive fizz.

◌ Aroma

Roasted malt and dark chocolate dominate the nose, grounded by subtle coffee undertones and a whisper of cocoa powder. Peanut butter and toasted coconut emerge in the mid-notes, adding creamy, candy-like sweetness without overshadowing the base roast. The overall impression is dessert-forward yet anchored by genuine grain character.

◐ Geschmack

Rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter lead on the palate, supported by a solid foundation of roasted, slightly bitter malt. The mid-palate remains smooth and full-bodied, with the toasted coconut and subtle coffee notes layering without harshness. Bitterness sits at a measured 65 IBU, present enough to balance the sweetness but never aggressive or astringent.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with residual chocolate and peanut butter lingering pleasantly on the palate. A gentle alcohol warmth (8.8% ABV) becomes evident in the aftertaste without becoming harsh or dominating.
