Imperial Stout 12.8 º

Birrificio Lambrate

This Imperial Stout presents an opulent sensory journey, led by an intense infusion of Ghanaian cocoa grue. Eight months in American bourbon barrels imparts deep vanilla and spirituous notes that intertwine with the rich, roasted foundation of the malt. The addition of Muscovado sugar and oats creates a velvety, complex landscape where extra dark chocolate and sweet caramel harmonize with roasted nuts and subtle spice. The 12.8% alcohol provides a significant, enveloping warmth, while a fresh earthy finish from the wood provides balance to the decadence. It is a masterful, layered expression of dark grain and oak that maintains a sophisticated, spirit-forward profile.

Appearance. SRM 40+; jet black and completely opaque. Pours with a dense, persistent deep tan head that leaves significant lacing. High viscosity is evident through thick legs visible on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant aromas of extra dark chocolate and Ghanaian cocoa grue are layered over rich roasted malt notes of espresso and charred grain. Strong secondary notes of vanilla, toasted oak, and bourbon distillate emerge from the barrel aging. Subtle esters of dried plum and a hint of earthy hops are present.

Taste. The initial impression is intensely rich and bittersweet. Deep flavors of dark chocolate, Muscovado sugar, and caramel transition into complex roasted nuts and spicy oak. Medium-high bitterness is well-integrated with the massive malt backbone. The finish is long and warming, featuring lingering cocoa, a touch of spirituous wood, and a pleasant roasted grain astringency.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a luscious, chewy, and velvety texture enhanced by the addition of oats. Carbonation is low to moderate. Significant alcohol warmth is smooth and enveloping rather than harsh or solventy.
