Antikorpo – Black Wisdom – Oatmeal Stout

The Black Wisdom from Antikorpo Brewery

The Black Wisdom beer by Antikorpo is an artisanal Stout that enchants with its complexity and depth of flavors. Crafted with selected ingredients such as barley malt, rolled oats, EKG hops, and yeast, this beer stands out for its dark brown color with mahogany reflections. The cappuccino-colored foam forms a compact crown, typical of the best Stouts.

Tasting Notes

Soft, velvety, and enveloping, Black Wisdom offers a unique sensory experience. On the nose, it reveals fragrances of toasted hazelnut, freshly ground coffee beans, and chocolate and caramel fudge. Letting the beer breathe, notes of wafer, bitter cocoa, 60% dark chocolate, and blackberry emerge. On the palate, the beer has moderate carbonation that accompanies a slender yet velvety body thanks to the oats. The roasted flavors of bitter cocoa, cold brew coffee, and dark chocolate dominate the palate. Additional complexity comes from hints of blueberry and blackberry, which blend with the dark chocolate sensation before a bitter cold brew coffee finish.

Pairings

Black Wisdom lends itself to various culinary pairings that enhance its aromatic and taste profile: fava beans and chicory, where the freshness of the chicory and the earthy flavor of the fava beans harmonize with the roasted and coffee notes of the beer; bread, butter, and anchovies, where the saltiness of the anchovies and the creaminess of the butter pleasantly contrast with the bitter and roasted tones of the Stout; hazelnut cream desserts, where the hazelnut notes of the beer are further enhanced when paired with rich and creamy desserts. To best enjoy Black Wisdom, serve it in an English pint at the ideal temperature of 10-12°C. This beer is the perfect companion for relaxing moments or to be shared in good company.
