Stout 13 º

Blood Brothers Brewing
Collective Arts Brewing

This collaboration Imperial Stout from Blood Brothers and Collective Arts offers a decadent sensory journey, leaning into a nostalgic 'cola stout' profile. Aged in Collective Arts Rye barrels, the beer delivers an intense aromatic profile of spicy rye grain, charred oak, and deep roasted malt. The palate is defined by a unique interplay between bittersweet dark chocolate and the botanical sweetness of cola, underscored by the assertive character of the rye wood. Despite its high strength, the richness is balanced by a firm roast bitterness, resulting in a complex, velvety experience that evokes spiced botanicals and espresso.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). It features a large, persistent head of deep tan foam with excellent retention and thick lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with dominant notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and spicy rye whiskey. A distinct botanical sweetness reminiscent of cola nuts and vanilla is present, layered over light oak tannins and subtle dark fruit esters.

Taste. Initial rich sweetness leads into powerful roasted malt flavors of cocoa and burnt espresso. The mid-palate features spicy rye and oak influence alongside a specific cola-syrup character. Bitterness is moderate to firm, balancing the high residual sugar, leading to a long, warming finish of spice and roasted grain.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and highly viscous with a smooth, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, and there is a pronounced, well-integrated alcohol warmth without being sharp or hot.
