Cloudwater – Dusk, Stout (4.6% ABV)

Hello, and welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists,

Not to be left out, Sam also cracked out a hot new review from his time in Manchester with Andy last weekend. unsurprisingly decided to go the Dark route, and checked out Dusk, a stout from Cloudwater.

  1. Name : Dusk
  2. Brewery: Cloudwater Brew Co, Manchester, UK
  3. Hops : N/A
  4. Grain : N/A
  5. Aroma : Strong sweet scent of chocolate, with an underlying bitter coffee tang coming through.
  6. Appearance : Very Dark in colour, with a thick mushroom coloured head when poured.
  7. Body : Medium to full bodied, great carbonation and head retention.
  8. Taste : The magical taste of cold brew coffee with a sweet chocolate twist, and additional malty/vanilla tones towards the end.

Allergens: Gluten, Wheat, Barley & Oats.

Dietary: Vegan Friendly

This one certainly woke me up, talk about a pick me up!

The coffee levels were strong but not too overpowering and that coupled with the 9 malts, vanilla and chocolate gave it a really nice well rounded flavour. gutted I only got one can, but there is always next time!

Sam’s overall rating: 4.0/ 5.0
