Imperial Stout 14 º

Buxton Brewery

Greco presents as a lavish Imperial Stout, elevated by a full year of maturation in Highland Whisky barrels. This 14% powerhouse offers a deep sensory journey through layers of rich chocolate and dark roast malts, which are seamlessly integrated with the soft berry fruits characteristic of the base beer. The extended aging imparts a sophisticated Highland whisky character, introducing nuances of light oak and a spirited complexity. Its sensory profile is defined by a dense, velvety texture and a complex, warming finish where the bittersweet interplay of roasted grains and spirited, wood-derived notes lingers, showcasing a masterfully balanced high-gravity maturation.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque. It pours with a thick, deep tan head that shows moderate retention, leaving oily legs on the glass as it recedes—a testament to its high viscosity and 14% alcohol strength.

Aroma. An intense and complex bouquet dominated by bittersweet chocolate, espresso-like roast, and a distinct Highland whisky presence. Aromas of dark plum and dried currants intermingle with toasted oak and a hint of vanilla. The alcohol is noticeable but refined, providing a smooth, warming sensation rather than a sharp edge.

Taste. The initial impression is one of decadent dark chocolate and heavily roasted grain. Mid-palate, soft berry fruits emerge, balanced by a firm bitterness derived from both hops and charred malts. The Highland whisky aging contributes layers of light oak and a subtle spirited sweetness. The finish is long and complex, transitioning from a rich, malty sweetness to a drying, roasty aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and viscous with a chewy, luscious, and velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present and well-integrated, reflecting the high ABV without being harsh or solventy.
