VandeStreek's Hard Pour Coffee Nitro Stout: A Non-Alcoholic Revolution
Embark on a revolutionary beer experience with VandeStreek's Hard Pour Coffee Nitro Stout, an artisanal non-alcoholic brew that promises the full-bodied richness of a classic stout with a contemporary twist.

The stout is meticulously crafted with real coffee and cocoa, ingredients that lend it a robust and authentic flavour profile. When served, the nitrogen infusion creates a creamy, thick head reminiscent of the most prestigious draft pours.
For the optimum nitro experience, give the can a vigorous shake before opening and pour it swiftly into the middle of your glass, watching the cascade of bubbles settle into a velvety foam.

Tasting notes
Vandestreek Hard Pour Tasting Notes
Appearance: The "Hard Pour" sets the stage with an opulent, deep amber to brown hue, crowned by a large, fluffy head of light tan foam. The head exhibits remarkable retention, slowly dissipating to leave a fine tracing of lacing along the glass, suggestive of its rich texture and body.
Aroma: As you approach the glass, a symphony of aromas wafts upwards. The bouquet is dominated by a freshly baked bread scent, courtesy of its pronounced yeasty character. It’s interwoven with layers of sweet malt, presenting a tapestry of caramel and toffee. Fruit esters add complexity, evoking the impression of ripe, dark berries gently warmed in the sun.
Palate: The first sip greets the palate with a delicate interplay of malt sweetness and fruitiness. Rather than heavy roasted flavours, it leans towards a nuanced profile where mild cocoa and a hint of roasted coffee beans come forth. These darker flavours are skilfully balanced, avoiding any bitterness, instead providing a comforting, malt-forward embrace.
Mouthfeel: The body is unexpectedly light and approachable, contrasting the visual intensity with a silky, almost velvety texture. Carbonation is finely tuned, sufficient to give life and lift to the beer without challenging its smooth nature. The "Hard Pour" maintains a friendly presence on the palate, inviting the drinker to savour its complexities without any weightiness.
Finish: The finish of this non-alcoholic brew is graceful and clean, leaving behind hints of the initial cocoa and gentle coffee notes. It's smooth from start to end, providing a satisfying closure that balances the sweetness with a dry touch, ensuring that the final note is as pleasant as the first.

Serving Suggestions
Experience the full potential of VandeStreek's Hard Pour Non-Alcoholic Beer with these carefully considered serving suggestions. Crafted for the utmost enjoyment, follow these tips to enhance the intricate qualities of this exceptional stout.
The Perfect Pour
To achieve the trademark creamy head and release the full spectrum of aromas, give the can a gentle shake before opening. Then, invert the can and pour swiftly into the centre of a pre-chilled, large tulip glass. The rapid pour from height encourages a thick foam cap to form, characteristic of nitrogen-infused stouts, and presents the beer's deep, ebony hues beautifully.
Glassware
Opt for a glass that complements the stout's rich profile. A tulip glass is ideal for concentrating the nuanced aromas, enhancing the sensory experience. The wide bowl allows for ample room to develop a generous head, while the inward taper near the lip captures and focuses the bouquet.
Temperature
Serve the Hard Pour slightly cooler than room temperature, around 8-10°C. This temperature range allows the subtle notes of coffee and cacao to emerge without overpowering the palate, maintaining the beer's smooth and approachable character.
Companion Snacks
Complement your Hard Pour with snacks that echo its flavours. A selection of roasted nuts or dark chocolate can draw out the beer's toasty and sweet notes. For a savoury twist, aged hard cheeses or spiced seitan jerky can provide a delightful contrast to the stout's creamy texture.
Whether enjoying a quiet evening at home or hosting a sophisticated gathering, these serving suggestions will ensure that each glass of VandeStreek's Hard Pour Non-Alcoholic Beer is poured to perfection, offering a premium non-alcoholic experience that is both indulgent and memorable.
About Vandesteek

Their shared passion for quality brews and creative experimentation led them to establish vandeStreek Brewery in 2013. The name, which translates to "from the region," reflects their commitment to creating innovative beers while celebrating their local roots.
