Sweet Stout 12.4 º 16 IBU

Abomination Brewing Company

This decadent Imperial Stout delivers an indulgent sensory experience, pouring like motor oil with a rich, dessert-forward profile. The inclusion of Midnight Wheat provides a deep, ink-black foundation and smooth roasted depth without harshness. Locally sourced coffee lends intense espresso notes that play against the creamy sweetness of lactose and the lush, aromatic presence of vanilla beans. The addition of pink frosted donuts adds a whimsical, doughy confectionary layer, while flaked oats ensure a thick, velvety texture. At 12.4% ABV, it offers a gentle, integrating warmth that carries the complex, sweet, and roasty flavors through a lingering, luxurious finish.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). Renders a thick, dark tan head with moderate retention and significant viscosity, evidenced by prominent legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of freshly roasted coffee and sweet vanilla beans. Rich malt character of dark chocolate and toasted bread, with a distinct confectionary sweetness reminiscent of sugar glaze and dough. Low fruity esters and no detectable hop aroma.

Taste. Massive initial impact of espresso and bittersweet chocolate. The mid-palate is dominated by creamy vanilla and a doughy, donut-like sweetness supported by Midnight Wheat's smooth roast. Bitterness is moderate but perceived as lower due to the high residual sugar and lactose. Finishes long, sweet, and coating with lingering coffee and cocoa.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied, chewy, and viscous. Low carbonation enhances the velvety, mouth-coating texture provided by the oats and lactose. A smooth, warming alcohol presence is noticeable but well-integrated.
