Alchemik Affogato Nocciolato
This Imperial Stout offers an indulgent sensory retrospective of the classic Italian affogato. A deep, opaque presence gives way to an intense bouquet where freshly roasted double espresso notes collide with the nutty sweetness of chocolate-hazelnut gianduia. The palate is defined by a luxurious, creamy gelato-like texture that smooths out the assertive roasted malts. Layers of dark chocolate and toasted hazelnut provide a decadent middle, balanced by a lingering coffee bitterness and a gentle, integrated warmth. It is a complex, dessert-forward experience that maintains the structural integrity of the style while delivering a harmonious blend of roast, nuttiness, and velvety sweetness.
Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40 SRM). Pours with a dense, dark tan head that shows moderate retention. High viscosity is evident through visible legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by freshly roasted coffee and rich dark chocolate. Strong notes of toasted hazelnut and sweet vanilla-cream reminiscent of gelato. Subtle background esters of dried plum and a clean, warming alcohol presence.
Taste. Initial impression is one of decadent sweetness followed by sharp espresso roast. Flavors of bittersweet chocolate and gianduia hazelnut are prominent. The malt provides a sturdy backbone of toast and charred grain. Finishes moderately sweet with a lingering aftertaste of mocha and roasted nuts.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a velvety, luscious, and creamy texture. Moderate carbonation provides a slight lift to the heavy body. A noticeable, smooth alcohol warmth glows in the throat.
