Imperial Stout 12.5 º 40 IBU

Amundsen Bryggeri

This Ultra Pastry Stout interpretation of an Imperial Stout delivers an indulgent, dessert-like sensory experience. The profile is dominated by a decadent bouquet of cinnamon donut and sticky toffee, offering a rich, syrupy character. At 12.5% ABV, the beer provides a deep, integrated warmth that carries intense notes of maple glaze and roasted malt. Viscous and jet-black, the palate is saturated with flavors of dark chocolate and caramelized sugar, balanced by the spicy warmth of cinnamon. It represents a modern, high-gravity take on the style, emphasizing a velvety, luscious mouthfeel and a lingering, sweet finish reminiscent of a fresh pastry.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Topped with a thick, deep tan to mocha-colored head; retention is moderate to low with visible legs and an oily sheen due to the high gravity and adjuncts.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of rich roasted malt, dark chocolate, and espresso. Prominent adjunct aromas of spicy cinnamon, buttery toffee, and sweet maple syrup dominate. Low dark fruit esters of prune and raisin are present, while hop aroma is absent.

Taste. Intensely sweet and full-on the palate with initial impressions of maple-glazed donuts and sticky toffee. The malt profile contributes heavy chocolate and roasted grain notes that provide a backbone to the spice of the cinnamon. Bitterness is low to moderate, largely masked by significant residual sweetness. The finish is long, sweet, and warming with a lingering pastry character.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a viscous, chewy, and syrupy texture. Carbonation is low, enhancing the creamy mouthfeel. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, with no harshness or astringency.
