Oh, wait, I guess I should be saying that about a porter.  Stouts might have arisen from porters, but the two modern styles are more likely to compete than lift each other up.  It&#8217;s a very tempting stout from the label, even without a lot of color, very fitting for its name &#8211; Sweet Temptation Naughty &amp; Nice.  I don&#8217;t see what&#8217;s supposed to be naughty about it, it all looks like fine flavors and aromas to me.  It isn&#8217;t even the alcohol, which is at a noticeable but not crazy 6.6%.  I guess it&#8217;s the whole decadence of this extra sweet and pampering beer that you&#8217;re supposed to feel is a little less proper than a standard lager or the like.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160640-scaled-e1755366143873-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1591\" style=\"width:390px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160640-scaled-e1755366143873-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160640-scaled-e1755366143873-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160640-scaled-e1755366143873-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160640-scaled-e1755366143873-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160640-scaled-e1755366143873-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160640-scaled-e1755366143873.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The head is much more stable now, so glass cleaning has been successful.  Dark beige foam and dark brown beer, it definitely looks the part of a chocolate stout.  There&#8217;s a strong scent of chocolate syrup, nothing smoky or toasty here.  The first sip is sweet alright, but it&#8217;s also clean and slick, with just enough to delight you without any heavy sugar.  There&#8217;s little to no aftertaste, once you swallow, it&#8217;s gone.  It&#8217;s almost disappointing in its smooth simplicity.  The can promised more layers and some stouty toastiness, which I am not finding.  I am getting kind of a buttery sensation, though, something I don&#8217;t imagine was intended originally.  Maybe I&#8217;m misinterpreting the caramel?<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160641-scaled-e1755366176667-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1590\" style=\"width:395px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160641-scaled-e1755366176667-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160641-scaled-e1755366176667-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160641-scaled-e1755366176667-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160641-scaled-e1755366176667-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160641-scaled-e1755366176667-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/letslearn.beer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/P8160641-scaled-e1755366176667.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Supplier: M\u00e1s Que Cervezas<br>Price: \u20ac4.40<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oh yes, continue my path of stouts, and the Euro-tourism.
