Brouwerij Eleven Imperial Stout
This Imperial Stout from Brouwerij Eleven presents a decadent and formidable sensory profile tailored for celebration. An intense black pour yields a complex bouquet where deep-roasted Chocolate malt meets the dark, sugary pull of caramel and a distinct touch of black licorice. On the palate, its immense 11% ABV is well-integrated, providing a smooth, warming glow that supports layers of bittersweet cocoa and savory anise. The transition from a rich, velvet-like sweetness to a dry, roasty finish creates a harmonious balance, making it an exceptionally full-bodied experience that highlights the brewer's intent for a festive, slow-sipping masterpiece.
Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40 SRM). Pours with a thick, persistent deep tan head that exhibits moderate retention and significant lacing. High viscosity is visible through prominent legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity with a rich, complex blend of bittersweet chocolate, heavy roast, and dark grain. Prominent notes of black licorice and caramel sweetness are balanced by low earthy hop character and subtle esters of dried plums and raisins. The alcohol is noticeable but smooth and refined.
Taste. Intense and multi-layered, featuring dominant flavors of dark chocolate, burnt malt, and black licorice. A mid-palate of rich caramel provides a balanced sweetness against a medium-high bitterness. The finish is lingering and bittersweet with a clean, roasty aftertaste and a sophisticated alcohol presence.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, contributing to a creamy mouth-coating sensation. A gentle, smooth alcohol warmth is present and well-integrated into the heavy body.
