Stout 10.5 º

This Imperial Stout-based Spiced Beer presents a decadent sensory profile centered on rich, dark roasted elements. Intense aromas of freshly roasted coffee and earthy cocoa nibs dominate, supported by the deep, molasses-like sweetness of Muscovado sugar. The addition of vanilla provides a smoothing, aromatic bridge between the char of the roasted malts and the creamy, velvety sweetness contributed by the lactose. On the palate, a full-bodied texture carries layers of dark chocolate and espresso, finishing with a lingering, warm complexity. It is an indulgent, harmonious expression of adjunct-driven depth and traditional dark malt roastiness.

Appearance. Opaque, jet black (40+ SRM). Pours with a thick, creamy, dark tan head that exhibits excellent retention and heavy lacing.

Aroma. High intensity. Prominent notes of freshly ground coffee and dark chocolate cocoa nibs are at the forefront. Distinctive vanilla bean and dark rum-like Muscovado sugar provide secondary complexity. Low earthy hop aroma is overshadowed by rich, toasted malt and sweet lactose notes. Fermentation is clean with very low dark fruit esters.

Taste. Rich and complex; initial impressions of sweet mocha and bittersweet cocoa. Deep roasted malt character provides charred grain and toasted bread flavors. Muscovado sugar adds a layer of treacle and dark caramel, while lactose provides a persistent, silky sweetness. Bitterness is moderate, sufficient only to balance the heavy malt and sugar load. The finish is long, sweet, and warming with a vanilla-forward aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a thick, coating creaminess. Carbonation is moderate-low. A noticeable, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, appropriate for the high gravity, without being harsh or astringent.
