Anchorage Brewing Company Air Whale Hell
Imperial Stout 15 º
This massive Imperial Stout presents a decadent sensory profile, shaped by extensive aging in Missouri oak. The experience is dominated by the rich, earthy depth of Klatch Coffee and the floral, marshmallow-like sweetness of Tahitian vanilla beans. Thai Bananas introduce a unique, caramelized tropical fruit layer that melds seamlessly into a base of bittersweet chocolate and toasted malt. Expect an interplay of roasted bitterness, woody tannins, and a smooth, vinous warmth. The complexity is heightened by the barrel's contribution of vanillin and spice, creating a harmonious yet powerful profile that balances intense dark grains with luscious, dessert-like adjuncts.
Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). It features a thick, creamy, deep tan head with moderate retention; high viscosity and alcohol levels are evident in the slow-moving, oily legs that coat the glass.
Aroma. High intensity. Bold roasted grain notes of espresso and dark chocolate lead, followed by the specific earthy character of Klatch Coffee. Tahitian vanilla provides floral sweetness, while Thai Bananas offer a ripe, tropical fruit ester. Missouri oak contributes toasted wood and light spice. Hop aroma is absent, while the high alcohol is noticeable but smooth.
Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of bittersweet cocoa and heavily roasted malt. Klatch Coffee provides a deep, roasted bean flavor that counters the sweetness of Tahitian vanilla. Thai Bananas emerge in the mid-palate, adding a caramelized fruit complexity. Bitterness is functionally medium-high but balanced by the massive malt body. The finish is long and lingering, featuring toasted wood, dark fruit, and velvety warmth.
Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a viscous, chewy, and luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Significant alcohol warmth is present and noticeable, providing a luxurious sensation without harshness or solvent qualities.
