Prepare to embark on a captivating journey with T Straight Smokey Burnout Stout, a masterpiece from the renowned Bootleg Brewery in New Zealand. This enigmatic stout greets the senses with an alluring aroma of roasted malt and whispers of sweet peat smoke, hinting at the complexity that awaits. As the opaque jet-black liquid forms a persistent tan head that laces the glass, the palate is treated to a symphony of flavors. The initial attack is met with a wave of rich chocolatey malt sweetness, reminiscent of freshly baked brownies. As the beer lingers, a subtle smokiness emerges, adding a complex depth that lingers on the tongue, accompanied by hints of campfire embers, roasted coffee, and a touch of caramelized toffee. Despite its robust character, the high alcohol content (6.0% ABV) provides a warming sensation without overpowering the delicate balance of flavors. The velvety medium-bodied texture makes this stout surprisingly approachable, inviting you to savor every sip. The finish lingers for an eternity, leaving a trail of smoky sweetness and a hint of dark chocolate bitterness, making T Straight Smokey Burnout Stout a true delight for aficionados and casual drinkers alike.
