Bohl La Negra presents as a rich Imperial Stout, delivering an imposing sensory profile despite its accessible strength. It pours a deep, non-translucent black, topped by a dense, chocolate-hued creamy head. The aroma is dominated by intense roasted coffee and dark chocolate notes derived from a complex blend of roasted malts. On the palate, the roast character is front and center, providing a perceived bitterness that complements the underlying malt sweetness. Subtle notes of dark fruit and a hint of cocoa emerge as it warms, leading into a long, lingering finish. It offers a velvety texture that emphasizes its robust, stout-forward identity.
Appearance.Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Features a thick, creamy, and persistent dark tan to chocolate-colored head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity; prominent bouquet of intense roasted coffee and dark chocolate. Supporting notes of bittersweet cocoa, toasted bread, and very light esters reminiscent of dried plum. Hop aroma is negligible.
Taste.Initial impression of deep roasted malt and cold-brew coffee. Mid-palette reveals bittersweet chocolate and a slight caramel sweetness. While the bitterness is technically low, the heavy roast provides a firm, charred bitterness. Finishes moderately dry with a long-lasting aftertaste of dark grain and roast.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full to full body with a velvety, luscious, and chewy texture. Carbonation is moderate to low. Alcohol warmth is light and well-integrated for its strength.
