La Pirata / La Quince Frapufino

This Session Pastry Stout delivers a dessert-forward experience despite its accessible low-alcohol frame. Evoking a classic frappuccino, the profile is defined by an aromatic rush of freshly ground coffee and rich cacao. Velvety vanilla pods weave through the bouquet, softening the roasted edges of the malt. On the palate, the interplay of bittersweet chocolate and dark roast coffee dominates, supported by a creamy, vanilla-driven sweetness that mimics dairy. While it draws from the American Stout tradition, the bitterness is restrained to allow the pastry ingredients to shine, finishing with a lingering mocha sweetness and a surprisingly substantial mouthfeel for its strength.
