It’s finally warmed up so that means it’s time to finish off all the stouts in my stash. Today’s beer is the Nightswimmer Stout by Storm Cloud.
This is a cool style it is a Belgian-style Stout. With an appearance as dark as swimming in Lake Michigan on a moonless night, The Nightswimmer Stout reveals a light chocolate and roast aroma intertwined with dark fruit flavors. One of their house yeast strains, sourced from Belgium, adds a slight background fruitiness.
As the brewer’s notes suggest the appearance is dark and intriguing. There’s a bit of a caramel tan head that’s thin and leave a bit of cap.
The aroma is a sweet and chocolate forward with that nice Belgian funk. I get get some sweet malt that’s slightly toasty.
The flavor is all roasted chocolate malt with some yeast that offers a nice a complex profile. It’s a good drinking stout as it’s not too thick.
There was so much carbonation that aids in a lighter body that’s perfect for a slightly interesting drinking experience.
