Imperial Stout 16.1 º 85 IBU

BrewDog

A monumental Imperial Stout that commands attention with its 16.1% ABV and deep barrel-aged complexity. This anniversary brew envelops the senses in a decadent tapestry of dark chocolate and intense espresso, driven by additions of cacao and coffee. The barrel aging introduces sophisticated notes of oak and vanilla, while a subtle, lingering warmth from chili peppers provides a distinctive spicy counterpoint to the rich, roasty sweetness. Heavy viscosity and dark fruit esters create a luxurious profile that evolves as it warms, showcasing the brewer's intent for a celebratory, harmonious, and intensely layered liquid experience that reflects its anniversary heritage.
