Imperial Stout 13 º

Aslin Beer Company

This decadent Imperial Stout emerges from an intricate maturation process involving Bourbon and Apple Brandy barrels, followed by a luxurious twelve-month finish in Maple Bourbon casks. The result is a sensory masterclass reminiscent of maple-drenched French toast. Deep, viscous layers of rich chocolate and toffee intertwine with the dark fruit of luscious fig, while the double-barrel aging imparts profound notes of toasted oak, creamy vanilla, and sweet coconut. At 13% ABV, the warmth is integrated and velvet-like, supporting a sophisticated profile that balances the robust roast of a stout with the vinous, caramel depth of blended Barleywines for a truly opulent experience.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM). Features a small, dense, dark tan head with low retention, exhibiting significant viscosity and thick legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of bittersweet chocolate, maple syrup, and toffee. Prominent barrel notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and coconut meld with esters of dried fig and a subtle, vinous apple brandy character. The alcohol is noticeable but smooth and well-integrated.

Taste. An initial impression of intense sweetness and rich chocolate is followed by layers of maple syrup, vanilla, and caramelized toffee. The mid-palate reveals dark fruit notes of fig and raisin, supported by a firm but smooth hop bitterness. The finish is long and lingering, dominated by oak tannins, bourbon warmth, and a decadent, dessert-like sweetness that never becomes cloying.

Mouthfeel. Full and very chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the complexity without being sharp or harsh.
