Renaissance Craftsman Chocolate Stout

Renaissance Brewing Company • New Zealand

Craftsman is the ‘Big Brother’ to the popular Elemental Porter. Building on the flavors given by the crystal, brown and black malts, a portion of organic rolled oats are added for a silky smooth mouth feel, then a small amount of cocoa nibs are added to the mash and brew kettle, plus a large addition of nibs to the fermentor. The maturation on those cocoa nibs gives the beer a lovely chocolate nose that melds beautifully with the coffee and hop notes. The resulting Stout has a full rounded palate with chocolate and roasted notes predominating and the depth of intensity that one expects from a Stout.
