Abnormal Candy Cane Ice Cream Cake
Imperial Stout 11.3 º
This decadent interpretation of an American Porter evokes a liquid dessert, blending deep roasted malts with whimsical confectionery additions. Rich layers of dark cacao and creamy vanilla create a luscious foundation reminiscent of cocoa-dusted cake. The cooling presence of peppermint from the candy cane dust weaves through the dark malt profile, providing a refreshing counterpoint to the beer's significant 11.3% ABV. Despite its intensity, the profile remains balanced by a firm hop bitterness and a lingering, sweet-minty finish. It captures the essence of a holiday treat while maintaining the robust, chocolatey backbone characteristic of the style.
Appearance. Opaque ebony to very dark brown with deep garnet highlights; features a thick, creamy, tan-colored head with moderate retention and light lacing.
Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromas of dark chocolate and vanilla bean are complemented by a distinct, cool peppermint note. Supporting scents include lightly burnt coffee, toasted bread, and a faint earthy hop character in the background.
Taste. Initial impression is of rich chocolate and sweet creaminess. The flavor transitions into deep cacao and a sharp, refreshing mintiness from the candy cane dust. Moderately high bitterness provides balance to the malty richness, ending in a medium-sweet finish with a lingering peppermint aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a velvety creaminess; moderate carbonation provides a slight lift. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without being harsh or fusel.
