Emerson's Brewing Company's Reserve May Day Stout is a captivating dry Irish stout that boasts a complex blend of flavors. Brewed with four distinct roasted malts, including roasted barley, roasted wheat, and roasted rye, this unfiltered stout delivers a layer of intriguing complexities. The addition of chocolate malt and crystal caramunich malts further enhances the depth of character. The roasted barley, a key ingredient in the renowned Guinness, imparts a dry, charcoal-like flavor that is quintessential to the stout style. To balance this robust profile, the brewers have generously hopped the beer with a variety of hops, including Fuggles, Cascade, Styrian Goldings, and the distinctive Riwaka. The result is a harmonious blend of bitterness and roasted notes. With a moderate alcohol content of 4.2% ABV, this May Day Stout is the perfect companion for cool autumn evenings spent at the local pub. Its complex and well-rounded flavor profile makes it a delightful choice for beer enthusiasts seeking a unique and satisfying stout experience.
