Antigua Quimera Strong Nut Ale
Imperial Stout 10 º
This Imperial Stout offers a luxurious interpretation of the style, drawing inspiration from Northern English brewing traditions to create a complex, nutty masterpiece. At 10% ABV, it features an intense aromatic bouquet of roasted hazelnuts, earthy walnuts, and sweet almonds, evoking a distinct amaretto character. The high-gravity strength is well-integrated, supporting a palate of bittersweet chocolate and dark, dried fruit esters. While the initial impression is one of decadent richness, the finish is remarkably dry and subtly fruity, providing a balanced, harmonious profile that masks its power with elegance and a velvety, sophisticated mouthfeel.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Topped with a thick, deep tan head with moderate retention and visible legs due to high alcohol viscosity.
Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate, cocoa, and light coffee roast. Pronounced nutty character of almond, walnut, and hazelnut. Secondary notes of dark fruit esters like plum and raisin with a subtle, clean alcohol warmth.
Taste. Initial impression of intense dark roasted malt and amaretto-like nut flavors. Mid-palate reveals layers of almond, black licorice, and toasted bread. Medium-high bitterness is well-balanced by malt depth. The finish is surprisingly dry with lingering notes of dark fruit and a smooth, warming alcohol presence.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full-bodied with a chewy, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth without being harsh or solventy.
