Imperial Stout 12 º

Amundsen Bryggeri

This 2025 vintage of Sticky Little Fingers presents a decadent, ultra-sensory experience typical of a modern Imperial Stout. The pour is viscous and jet black, releasing an intense bouquet of warm cinnamon and sticky toffee. Bourbon barrel aging contributes layers of charred oak and sweet vanilla that meld seamlessly with a deep, bittersweet chocolate malt base. On the palate, the Cinnabun character shines through with rich brown sugar and spice, supported by a velvety, full-bodied texture. A well-integrated alcohol warmth from its high gravity provides a sophisticated finish to this luxurious, dessert-focused masterpiece.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM). Pours with a thick, deep tan head that shows moderate to low retention due to high viscosity and alcohol content. Significant legs are visible on the glass when swirled.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and heavy caramel. Prominent aromas of spicy cinnamon and sweet toffee dominate, backed by bourbon-derived notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of coconut. Low earthy hops and moderate dark fruit esters like prunes and raisins.

Taste. Initial impression is intensely sweet and decadent. Rich malt flavors of cocoa, black licorice, and toasted bread are layered with cinnamon-roll sweetness and buttery toffee. The bourbon barrel influence adds depth with oak tannins and spirit-like complexity. Bitterness is low to moderate, serving only to prevent a cloying sensation. The finish is long, warming, and sweet with lingering notes of spice and vanilla.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious, and creamy texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, lacking any harshness or solvent qualities.
