Pagan is a bold and full-flavoured American Stout that perfectly balances rich roasted malts with the vibrant character of American hops. Brewed with a generous addition of Simcoe hops and finished with a light dry hop, this stout delivers an exceptional depth of flavour while maintaining a smooth, approachable character.
A carefully crafted blend of Pale Ale, Pilsner, Chit Wheat, Rolled Oats, Cara Ruby, Crystal 60, Black Wheat, and Chocolate malts creates a luxurious malt profile packed with notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, toasted bread, and subtle caramel sweetness. The addition of oats provides a soft, creamy mouthfeel, while Simcoe hops contribute gentle pine and citrus notes that beautifully balance the beer's rich malt backbone.
Complex yet highly drinkable, Pagan is a modern American Stout that offers bold flavour, silky texture, and a satisfyingly dry finish.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Freshly roasted coffee, dark chocolate, cocoa, toasted malt, hints of pine, and subtle citrus from the Simcoe hops.
Palate: Rich layers of dark chocolate, espresso, roasted barley, caramel, and toasted bread, balanced by resinous hop character and a smooth, creamy body.
Finish: Long, dry, and warming with lingering roasted coffee, bittersweet chocolate, and a gentle hop bitterness.
