As 3rd Aniversary
This celebratory Imperial Stout presents a decadent sensory profile centered on the addition of rare Kopi Luwak coffee. The 10.2% ABV base provides a massive platform for deep-roasted grains and complex dark fruit esters, reminiscent of prunes and black currants. The Kopi Luwak coffee imparts a unique, earthy, and exceptionally smooth roasted character that melds seamlessly with notes of bittersweet chocolate and black licorice. On the palate, a velvety texture carries waves of espresso and toasted malt, balanced by a firm hop bitterness and a lingering, warming finish. It is a harmonious and intensely flavored tribute to complexity and craftsmanship.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM). Pours with a dense, persistent deep tan head that leaves thick lacing on the glass. High viscosity is apparent through visible legs.
Aroma. High intensity. Dominant aroma of freshly ground espresso and dark chocolate from the Kopi Luwak coffee. Supported by rich malt notes of toasted bread, black licorice, and molasses. Moderate esters of dried figs and raisins are present, alongside a clean, subtle floral hop note and a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
Taste. Intense and complex. Initial flavors of bittersweet cocoa and earthy coffee transition into a deep, bready maltiness. High hop bitterness provides a necessary counterpoint to the residual malt sweetness. Mid-palate reveals dark fruit flavors of plum and prune. The finish is long and warming with a lingering roast and bittersweet chocolate aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the beer's creamy mouthfeel. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth provides a pleasant glow without being harsh or solventy.
