Arbeiter Stout! in the Name of Love

Arbeiter Stout! in the Name of Love.

5.4 % aBV. 34 IBU. Arbeiter Brewing, Minneapolis, MN.

Solid blackness, assured opacity, with a sizable brown ring of foam to cap it off. 

In the nose: Bittersweet, with coca and coffee holding court. 

In the mouth: Again, bittersweet on the tongue, with toasty malt flavors at the fore. The palate is dominated with cocoa and coffee. Medium bodied and a dream to drink down. Getting slightly more sweet than bitter, but over all, well-balanced and a delightful stout, to be sure. 

This is my first time having this one non-nitrogenated, which is how it was served at the taproom. I like it tremendously. 

A roasty, chocolatey, rich stout served with a smooth nitrogenated mouthfeel. A “summertime” stout inspired in part by rich flavors reminiscent of sitting around a campfire and making s’mores.

Aroma: Rich, dark chocolate/baker’s chocolate/cocoa aroma with roasted malt in the background.

Flavor: A silky smooth body from the nitrogenation carries warm and inviting flavors of toasted bread, biscuits, gourmet dark chocolate and a hint of marshmallow sweetness.
