Hite Stout

Brewed by The Hite Company
Style: Stout
Yeongdeungpo, Seoul, South Korea

Labelled "Black beer." Deep red-black with poofy, beige, root beer float head. MIldly malty and roasty aroma though mostyl neutral. Light to medium roastiness, interesting grain character with some cough syrup notes. Light cough syrup, roast finish that slightly numbs the mouth.

Can. Pretty nice color. Not quite the opaque, pitch black of the better stouts Very thin nose. Smells a bit sweet, little hop aroma. Quite like a Japanese "black." Slight burnt, stout-like flavor, but very weak on hops and malt. Not much of the burnt taste, either. Not a terrible beer overall, quite drinkable in fact, especially for the price of about ¥156. No where near a good stout, though. Fails in that category. Not near enough flavor of any kind.

Bottle at RBESG grand tasting. Very dark brown lasting beige head. Some toffee watery some malts. Fine. Mild

Store had one marked down to $1, so I went for it for fun. Honestly not that bad for what I was expecting. Funny how you can see through the stout though ;) . Lightly sweet, light lightly chocolate, and definitely a tiny roast bitterness to the finish. First Korean beer rated too!

[RBESG, Sheffield]
Grand Tasting @ The Halequin, Sheffield.
Pours clear brown with a small, creamy, beige head. Soft roasted aroma and lots of sweetness. Low carbonation, thin mouthfeel. Sweet, sticky, sugary flavour, some rye bread and mildly roasted.

Bottle at the RBESG09 Grand Tasting, Sheffield. Alround rating: Caramel over pale malt exstract, herbal hop exstract does balance due to the carbaonion being uite high. Thin but drinkable stuff.
