Imperial Stout 10.5 º 12 IBU

Amundsen Bryggeri

This opulent Imperial Stout serves as a decadent liquid dessert, masterfully integrating the comforting sensory cues of a chocolate chip cookie. The aroma is highly aromatic, leading with indulgent notes of salted caramel, toasted dough, and rich cocoa. On the palate, the interplay between sweet caramel and a subtle salinity creates a complex profile, supported by a robust foundation of roasted malts that impart bittersweet chocolate and espresso characters. At 10.5% ABV, a smooth, velvety warmth permeates the full, chewy body, while the natural bitterness of the roasted grains ensures a balanced, lingering finish that evokes a freshly baked winter warmer.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40 SRM). Thick, dense, deep tan head with moderate retention and visible oily legs upon swirling.

Aroma. High intensity; rich salted caramel and baked cookie dough dominate. Deep malt complexity follows with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, and burnt sugar. Low dark fruit esters resembling raisins. Alcohol is noticeable but smooth.

Taste. Initial impression is sweet and indulgent. Flavors of salted caramel and bittersweet chocolate chips are prominent. Strong roasted malt backbone provides coffee and charred grain notes. Bitterness is moderate to firm, effectively balancing the high residual sweetness. The finish is lingering and sweet with a distinct salty-caramel aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a thick, chewy, and velvety texture. Low to moderate carbonation. Significant but well-integrated alcohol warmth without being sharp or solventy.
