Description

The Widown by Bellflower is a captivating stout that emerges from the renowned craft beer scene of Maine with a robust profile that appeals to dark beer aficionados. With an ABV of 6.5% and an IBU of 45, this stout strikes a balance between strength and smoothness, offering a velvety mouthfeel that envelops the palate with every sip. Expect a deep, malty richness that underscores subtle notes of roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate, while a hint of hop bitterness provides a refreshing counterpoint to the stout's inherent sweetness. As you pour The Widown, consider serving it at a slightly cooler-than-room temperature, around 50-55°F (10-13°C), to allow its complex flavors to unfold gradually. A tulip glass or a snifter will enhance the sensory experience, concentrating the beer's enticing aromas as you savor its depth. This stout's layered profile makes it an excellent companion to hearty dishes; pair it with slow-cooked beef stew or a rich mushroom risotto to complement and contrast the beer's robust character. For those with a penchant for dessert pairings, The Widown pairs exceptionally well with chocolate-based desserts or a slice of creamy blue cheese, where its bittersweet notes bring out the best in its culinary counterparts. Whether you're enjoying a casual dinner or gathering with fellow beer enthusiasts, this stout promises a gratifying experience grounded in the craftsmanship of Bellflower's brewing expertise.

    Shared a few bottles at our small holiday party last weekend. Crowd seemed pretty happy, even folks who don't usually go for darker beers.

    Glad to hear The Widown worked out at your party! You might also try Bellflower's IPAs if you're mixing it up next time.

    Had this outside by the fire pit last October, just right for cool nights. Rich and easy drinking for fall.

  • ★★★★☆ Megan Tran

    Definitely packs more of a punch than expected at 6.5. Snuck up on me after the second one during game night. Good flavor but almost wished for a bit less strength to sip slower.

    Game night is always better with something sneaky like The Widown. If you want something a touch lighter, let us know next time.
