Magic Rock Dark Arts Stout, 12 x 330ml

Product Information

Generally, porters, made from malted barley, have more dark fruit to them, while stouts exhibit big, roasted, bitter characteristics, owing to their use of roasted, but unmalted, barley. Either way, they are both fantastic winter beers or drinks to have with hearty roast dinners and meats. Siren Odyssey 009 | Barrel Aged Sour Stout Blend (Sherry & Bourbon Stouts, Red Wine Saison w/ Brett & Lactic Acid) | 11.7 13.90 Guinness brings sweet, savoury, malty notes with an addictive bitterness,” says chef and restaurateur Robin Gill. Just like Marmite, he says, “people who like it absolutely love it”, and it’s not hard to see why. When deployed in those cakes and stews, Guinness adds a great depth of flavour, which is why Dee Rettali, co-founder of Fortitude Bakehouse in London, includes it in her chocolate cake. “It also helps with the fermentation, because we keep the prepared batter for two days before baking,” she says. “The batter is then bubbly and stouty, which gives the cake a rich, slightly bitter, coffee taste that is beautifully offset by a sweet, creme fraiche icing.” A complex malt bill meets rich cacao with melt in your mouth dark chocolate and complimentary roasted coffee flavours. When I load my second keg of this, because I will 100% be buying more of this baby, I will pour myself a swift one as it cools down in the machine to see if it makes a big difference. At the moment, I don't know if it makes it any better and I think it tastes amazing as it is, so ignorance is bliss!

The street party will resume, complete with bonfires (it is the dead of winter in Astoria, after all), live music on three stages, and a slew of masters of the unique and curious arts. Evil Twin NY Cinnamon Baked Pear Sour | Cinnamon , Brown Sugar & Pear Sour IPA| US (NY) | 473ml 7.0 10.00 The anticipation of Guinness being released on the PerfectDraft has always been there, so for that reason I can understand why BeerHawk didn't big up the release of the Dark Arts stout weeks in advance of it's launch. Any marketing teaser campaign would have resulted in huge speculation and then massive disappointment that it wasn't Guinness. So it wasn't until a few weeks before launch that the ads started to appear. Evil Twin NY Our Coconut | Lactose, Coconut, Lime, Marshmallow, Strawberry & Banana Gose | US (NY) | 473ml 6.8 10.30 We took a break for a while. We don’t have to tell you why,” the message stated. “The list of stouts is steadily growing. We’ve had two whole years to gather the rarest, coolest, darkest stouts in the known universe. And this is a festival of STOUT. No porters, no barleywines, no soft IPAs, no Uruguayan Tannat. Just STOUT.”Stouts and porters have been around for centuries. Porter beers are the older of the two; the dark brews have been around since the early 1700s and their name comes from the fact they were particularly popular with London’s port workers. They were – and still are – robust and warming beers, with big chocolate and coffee aromas and flavours said to give the labourers strength.
