Sweet Stout 11 º 53 IBU

Brouwerij In De Nacht

This decadent Imperial Stout presents a masterful intersection of dark intensity and dessert-like indulgence. Massive waves of bittersweet chocolate dominate the profile, bolstered by the smooth, creamy addition of vanilla and the subtle, floral sweetness of raspberry honey. At 11% alcohol, the beer carries a sophisticated warmth that integrates seamlessly with the rich, roasty backbone of charred grain and espresso notes. While fundamentally an Imperial Stout, the milk sugar influence provides a luscious, velvety texture that rounds out the bold bitterness. The result is a complex, multi-layered experience where dark fruit esters and opulent cocoa flavors linger long into the finish.

Appearance. Opaque and jet black in color (40 SRM). Pours with a thick, dense, deep tan head that shows moderate retention and leaves significant oily legs on the glass, suggesting high viscosity.

Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring a rich blend of dark cocoa, roasted coffee, and sweet vanilla beans. Subtle floral and light berry notes from the raspberry honey emerge as it warms, supported by moderate esters of plum and raisin. Low earthy hop character and a clean, noticeable alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impression is intensely rich and sweet, dominated by milk chocolate and roasted malt flavors. The mid-palate introduces creamy vanilla and a delicate honeyed sweetness with a hint of red fruit. Medium-high bitterness from roasted grains and hops provides balance, preventing the finish from becoming cloying. The aftertaste is a harmonious mix of charred malt, lingering cocoa, and a smooth, vinous warmth.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a velvety, chewy, and luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant but gentle alcohol warmth is present, providing a coating and creamy sensation without any harshness or astringency.
