Imperial Stout 11 º

Browar Birbant

This decadent Imperial Stout offers a masterclass in dessert-inspired sensory layering, mimicking the profile of a chocolate waffle through a complex malt bill and bourbon barrel maturation. Deep, dark chocolate and cocoa notes provide an intense foundation, while the barrel aging introduces sophisticated ribbons of vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of coconut. The aroma is saturated with caramel and bready sweetness reminiscent of fresh waffle batter, balanced by the assertive roasted character of the base beer. It is a viscous, indulgent experience where the 11% alcohol is seamlessly integrated into a velvety, warming finish that lingers with bittersweet elegance.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40 SRM) with a thick, creamy, deep tan head. The high viscosity and alcohol content are visible as prominent legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate, cocoa, and heavy bourbon-derived vanilla. Secondary notes of toasted oak, caramel, and dark fruits like raisins complement a distinct bready, waffle-like sweetness.

Taste. Initial impression is intensely sweet and malty, featuring dark chocolate, fudge, and toasted grain. This is followed by woody bourbon character and vanilla. A medium-high bitterness provides a necessary counterpoint to the heavy residual sweetness, finishing with a long, warming, and roasty aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, and a smooth, significant alcohol warmth is present without being sharp.
