Rubis stout
L- The most magnificent deep chestnut brown, clear, 5mm pale tan foam cap.
S- Cocoa, as in milky chocolate.
T- Well, big chocolate front and centre, there is also a minor barrel note to it. I don't seem to detect a wine note here (tempranillo), perhaps it's subtle enough to slip into the mix. There is a toasty edge, presumably from the base stout beer used. There is also a minor dry note in the finish.
F- It is notably light on the palate, no sense of ABV to me and it feels under-powered.
O- First off, this is one of the most elegantly labelled beers I have ever encountered, suggesting a bottled treasure of some kind. I like how the wine note is subtle and the focus is on lovely milky chocolate. But it seems to come off as lacking body, or say a punchy Stout character to balance the cocoa. I wonder whether if they had a special edition aiming for say an 8% version I'd indeed be finding the suggested treasure.
