Cream Stout

◎ Aussehen

Deep mahogany-brown to near-black in the glass, with excellent opacity characteristic of the style. The dense, tan-colored head displays strong retention and fine lacework along the glass as it settles. Carbonation is moderate and measured, contributing to a rich visual presence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with pronounced milk chocolate and toffee sweetness, grounded by deep roasted grain and a secondary coffee note. English Fuggles hops contribute subtle herbal and earthy undertones that prevent the aroma from becoming cloying. A faint dark fruit character rounds out the bouquet.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is full and creamy across the palate, with caramel and chocolate flavors immediately evident. The mid-palate develops subtle roasted and coffee notes, while the 23 IBU from Fuggles hops provides restrained, fine-grained bitterness that balances without dominating the sweetness. The texture is smooth and silky throughout.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with chocolate and roast lingering pleasantly without residual stickiness. Aftertaste remains focused on malt character rather than hop sharpness.
