A deceptively golden-coloured luxurious coffee stout
[Character]Pale in color with a soft and creamy mouthfeel, boasting a light chocolate character in flavor and the aroma of fresh brewed coffee on the nose.[Food Pairing]Roasted meat dishes, barbecued beef, chocolate espresso cake[Naming]A play on Dark Side of the Moon, as this beer is pale in color while exhibiting a flavor profile that is normally seen in dark beer.[Brewer's Voice]This beer should be golden in color with a silky mouthfeel and fuller body from the flaked wheat and oats used. The coffee added post-fermentation shines through nicely, giving off an aroma of freshly brewed coffee. I added a touch of Madagascar vanilla to cover the full spectrum of flavors. The white stout style is a bit controversial, as the modern usage of the word is synonymous with blackness, coffee, and chocolate. Originally, "stout" was simply used to denote beer higher in ABV, gravity, or bold in flavor. Porters, dark beers from England, had variable ABVs, and the heaviest and strongest of these were called stout porters. Porters and their heavier stout cousins were immensely popular, and eventually the meaning of stout in its relation to beer evolved to its own separate style of dark beer. White stout as a style reclaims the original meaning. As a summer release, I decided to keep the ABV at a more drinkable 5.5%, so it isn't necessarily strong, but I am confident that it achieves bold flavor!StyleWhite StoutSeriesExplorationABV5.5%IBU20Gas Volume2.5MaltMaris Otter, Pale ChocolateHopWillametteYeastCali Ale OthersCoffee, Vanilla,Flaked Oats, Flaked wheat,CategoryHapposhuJAN0.0%
