33 cl can poured lightly chilled into a Teku glass, in Toulouse, France. Canned 01/06/2021, BBD 01/2025, so I’m reviewing its last gasp.
Nothing much to look at. Fizzy head that leveled out quickly.
On the nose, it’s herbacious, with the basil making an early appearance, followed by dark malts and cocoa powder.
The basil works remarkably well in the Stout, standing on its own without becoming overwhelming. You don’t have to ‘like’ basil to appreciate the vision of the brewer. The finish is relatively long, and the basil eases out in favor of chocolate and a whisper of chocolate. The ABV is well hidden, and the sweetness is kept in check.
Mouth is medium, with surprisingly sturdy carbonation despite the brew hibernating in the can for four years.
Overall, here’s a nice use of a common herb that’s creative, Star Point unique and quite tasty.
