Mashed at a higher temperature for a finish with a bit of perceived sweetness using dark roasted malts which impart roasty notes of coffee, and dark chocolate and oats for a thicker, creamy mouthfeel and head retention.

A deep black beer with a light tan head. Rich roasty aromas with coffee notes from the dark roasted grains. The flavor is full of baker’s chocolate and roasted malt notes, finishing with a gentle sweetness. The mouthfeel is full-bodied, smooth and coating. Low to medium bitterness.

Grain Bill: NY Pale Malt, 2 Row Barley Malt, C-60 Malt, Debittered Black Malt, Chocolate Malt, Oats
Hops: NY Chinook in the boil for bittering. Cascade in the whirlpool for flavor and aroma.

IBU: 40
SRM: 92.2 (Black)

Stout is very dark brown while pouring, and black in a Steamworks tulip glass. There is no real head, yet there is spotty lace and a little bit of viscosity.

The aroma is sweet with dark, almost burnt roast. Wet coffee grinds add to cocoa nibs and mild lactose.

Mild roasted bitterness with a strong, sweet edge, this beer is out of balance. Black coffee mixed with malted milk presents a flavor similar to Ovaltine. The finish is long and bitter.

The syrupy texture belies a medium body. Alcohol is as expected, while the carbonation is soft and almost absent. There is a metallic edge.

Stout would make a fine after work beer or with buddies while relaxing. It is easy drinking and uncomplicated.
