Export-Style Stout Style
- Color: Black
- Clarity: Opaque
- Perceived Malt Aroma & Flavor: Coffee-like roasted barley and roasted malt aromas are prominent. Initial malt and light caramel flavors give way to a distinctive dry-roasted bitterness in the finish.
- Perceived Hop Aroma & Flavor: Should not be present
- Perceived Bitterness: May be analytically high, but the perception is lessened by malt sweetness.
- Fermentation Characteristics: Fruity esters are low. Diacetyl is usually absent in these beers but may be present at very low levels. Slight acidity is acceptable.
- Body: Medium to full
- Additional notes: Head retention should be persistent
