Bold Monk Brewing Co. Brother Ivan
Bold Monk’s Brother Ivan is a masterful expression of the Imperial Stout, delivering a pure and robust sensory experience without the use of lactose or adjuncts. Deep, evocative layers of roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate dominate the palate, supported by a massive malt backbone. This intensity is tempered by dark fruit esters—suggestive of dried plums and figs—which meld seamlessly with a firm, balanced bitterness. At 9.7% ABV, it offers a refined, integrated warmth that enhances the velvety, full-bodied texture. The result is a complex, award-winning profile that celebrates the harmonious interplay of deeply kilned grains and a clean fermentation finish.
Appearance. Opaque, jet black (40+ SRM). Pours with a dense, persistent deep tan head with excellent retention. High viscosity is apparent in the slow-forming legs when the glass is swirled.
Aroma. High intensity and rich. Dominant aromas of freshly roasted coffee, dark cocoa, and bittersweet chocolate. Supportive esters of dark dried fruits like raisins, prunes, and figs emerge as the beer warms. Very low earthy hop character and a clean fermentation profile with smooth, well-integrated alcohol.
Taste. Intensely flavored with an initial impression of dark chocolate and espresso-like roast. Mid-palate reveals complex dark fruit notes of black currant and plum alongside a light caramel malt sweetness. Firm bitterness provides balance against the rich malt depth. The finish is moderately dry with a lingering aftertaste of roasted grain and gentle, pleasant warmth.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious, and creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable, smooth alcohol warmth provides a sophisticated glow without being sharp or solventy.
