Пивоварна Мелтум (Meltum Brewery) Balkan Dessert
Imperial Stout 10 º
This Balkan Dessert Imperial Stout offers a luxurious sensory experience, defined by its massive body and complex spice layers. The aroma leads with rich dark chocolate and espresso from the reiterated mash, transitioning into bright citrus notes of orange peel and a warm, aromatic spice blend of cinnamon and licorice-like anise. Vanilla and lactose provide a smooth, creamy sweetness that cushions the 10% ABV. On the palate, whiskey-soaked oak chips impart deep charred wood and boozy vanilla undertones, melding with the pastry-like sweetness for a decadent, lingering finish that balances heavy roast with festive spice and a subtle spirit character.
Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM); pours with a thick, creamy, deep tan head that leaves persistent lacing. High viscosity is apparent with visible legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity with layers of dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Bright orange zest weaves through warm cinnamon and spicy anise. Significant vanilla and a creamy lactose sweetness are present, complemented by a sophisticated whiskey and charred oak character. Subtle dark fruit esters of prune and raisin emerge as the beer warms.
Taste. Initial impression of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and caramelized sugars. The orange peel provides a zesty counterpoint to the deep, spicy warmth of cinnamon and anise. Whiskey-soaked oak adds layers of vanilla and wood tannin complexity. Lactose provides a velvety, pastry-like sweetness that balances the firm roasted bitterness. The finish is long and harmonious, blending spice, dark grain, and gentle alcohol warmth.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, enhancing the richness. A smooth, pleasant alcohol warmth is noticeable but integrated, accompanied by a slight, well-integrated wood tannin from the oak chips.
