Imperial Stout 10 º

Browar Birbant

ORB is a formidable Imperial Stout that commands attention with its deep, dark complexity. The inclusion of Peated malt introduces a distinctive layer of campfire smoke and earthy, medicinal notes that weave through a dense tapestry of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and black licorice. At 10% ABV, the alcohol provides a steady, integrated warmth that complements the velvety, full-bodied texture. Subtle notes of dried figs and raisins emerge as the glass warms, balanced by a firm hop bitterness and the sharp, roasted edge of dark grains. It concludes with a long, lingering finish where smoldering peat and charred oak meet a sophisticated, molasses-like sweetness.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). It is topped by a thick, persistent deep tan head that leaves oily legs on the glass, indicative of its high alcohol content and viscosity.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of heavy roast and smoky peat. Aromas of dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and burnt grain are prominent, accompanied by an earthy, medicinal peat smoke. Low esters of prunes and raisins are present, alongside a smooth, warming alcohol note and very low earthy hops.

Taste. The palate is dominated by intense flavors of bittersweet chocolate, charred toast, and espresso. The Peated malt adds a significant layer of wood smoke and earthy phenols. A medium-high bitterness provides balance against the rich malt sweetness. The mid-palate reveals dark fruit notes like dried currants and figs, leading to a long, warming finish with lingering notes of roasted grain and smoke.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and viscous with a chewy, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant but smooth alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the richness without becoming sharp or solventy.
