Imperial Stout 11 º

Blackout Brewing

This Imperial Stout presents a sophisticated sensory journey, anchored by the addition of single-origin Peruvian cocoa beans from the San Martin region. The beer pours a viscous jet black, releasing an intense aroma where deep-roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate collide with the unique citric and floral elegance of the Trinitario and Criollo cocoa varieties. On the palate, the high-gravity malt backbone provides a velvety, chewy texture, supporting layers of dark fruit and bright red berries. The finish is warming and complex, reflecting the traditional fermentation of the cocoa in Tornillo wood, resulting in a harmonious balance between aggressive roast bitterness and a lingering, luxurious chocolate essence.

Appearance. Opaque jet black (SRM 40) with a dense, long-lasting deep tan head. The high alcohol content and viscosity create visible legs when the glass is swirled.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of roasted malts and Peruvian cocoa. Leading notes of bittersweet chocolate and coffee are accented by the cocoa's unique citric and floral esters. Subtle dark fruit notes of raisin and plum meld with a clean, warming alcohol presence.

Taste. A complex, intense flavor profile dominated by dark chocolate, espresso, and roasted grain. The specific Peruvian cocoa adds elegant brightness and red berry notes. It features a firm bitterness that balances the initial malt sweetness, finishing moderately dry with a lingering roasted character and smooth warmth.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, emphasizing the beer's weight. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth coats the palate without being hot or sharp.
