Hiroshima Noh Brewery in Miyoshi, Hiroshima, has posted about how serving temperature affects its Caramel Honey Stout. In a playful message, the brewery says that when the beer is chilled ice-cold, the caramel and honey in its character can seem to disappear.
The stout is brewed with caramel, honey and cinnamon. On its official website, the brewery describes it as a rich dark beer suited to slow after-dinner drinking. It has an alcohol content of 6.2%. While a very cold serving may emphasize a sharper impression, allowing the beer to warm gradually should make its roasted malt character, sweetness and gentle spice easier to appreciate.
Rather than finishing the beer straight from the refrigerator, drinkers may want to pour it into a glass and give it a little time. Comparing the first cold sip with the beer as its aromas open can make the temperature shift part of the tasting experience. Its dark color, roast character and dessert-like notes are best explored slowly.
