Coffee Snoutjuice is an assertive and indulgent Imperial Stout that celebrates the synergy between dark roasted grains and a potent dose of extra coffee. This massive beer pours with a dense, dark brown head, releasing high-intensity aromas of freshly ground espresso, dark chocolate, and hints of black currant. On the palate, the 11.5% ABV provides a smooth, integrated warmth that carries flavors of bittersweet cocoa, molasses, and intense, roasty coffee beans. The mouthfeel is thick and velvety, characteristic of the style, finishing with a lingering, roasted bitterness and a touch of dark fruit complexity that balances the rich, dessert-like sweetness.
Appearance.Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM). Crowned by a dense, deep tan head with moderate retention and significant lacing. High viscosity is evident as legs form on the sides of the glass when swirled.
Aroma.High intensity with a dominant character of freshly roasted coffee and espresso. Supporting notes of bittersweet chocolate, cocoa, and lightly burnt grain provide depth. Subtle esters of dried plum and black currant are present, alongside a smooth, warming alcohol note. Hop aroma is very low and earthy.
Taste.Intense and complex, opening with rich flavors of dark chocolate and molasses. A massive surge of coffee flavor follows, contributing both roast and a slight berry-like acidity. Bitterness is high, derived from both hops and roasted grains, but is well-balanced by a significant malt sweetness. The finish is long and bittersweet, with lingering notes of charred grain and espresso. Alcohol provides a noticeable but clean warmth.
Mouthfeel.Very full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, gentle alcohol warmth is present throughout without being sharp or solventy.
