Hop BroToday’s topic is a fresh tap at HOP MAN in Chigasaki: GORA BREWERY’s "Gora Stout" just went on.
MugiWait, Gora Stout sounds intense already! What kind of beer is it?
Hop BroIt’s a 5.5% stout, built around roasted malt, with aromas that lean into dark chocolate and coffee.
MugiWhat does roasted malt character even mean? That suddenly sounded like a chemistry class!
Hop BroPut simply, it’s toasty grain flavor. Think browned bread crust or fragrant coffee folded into a dark beer.
MugiOhhh, so it’s not just bitter, it also has dark chocolate aroma? That got fancy fast.
Hop BroExactly. And it’s a slow-sipping stout too, so the roast up front and the lingering toastiness in the finish keep shifting as you drink.
MugiA dark beer with plot twists, nice! And Untappd bronze winner makes it sound even harder to ignore.
Hop BroThe hops are Northern Brewer and Cascade, which keeps the aroma defined so the beer doesn’t lean only on dark malt weight. Great with grilled food or dessert.
MugiThat sounds like the perfect after-dinner pint and a food-pairing beer at the same time. If we’re going to HOP MAN, I’m ordering this.
