Russian Imperial Stout 10 º 70 IBU

Cerveza Caleya

This Imperial Stout presents an indulgent sensory experience, dominated by the addition of decadent cacao. A deep, complex profile unfolds with layers of bittersweet chocolate and espresso-like roast, characteristic of the style’s heavy use of roasted grains. At 10% ABV, the beer carries a sophisticated warmth that integrates seamlessly with moderate esters of dried plums and raisins. The cacao heightens the natural dark chocolate notes of the malt, leading into a lingering, bittersweet finish. It is a harmonious expression of strength and ingredient-focused craftsmanship, offering a luscious, velvety texture that defines a high-gravity Russian Imperial Stout.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40 SRM). It pours with a dense, dark tan head with moderate retention. Due to the high viscosity and 10% alcohol content, visible legs are present on the glass when swirled.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate, raw cocoa, and roasted coffee. Moderate esters evoke dark fruits like raisins and prunes. Very low earthy hop notes are present beneath the intense malt and cacao. A clean, smooth alcohol presence adds depth without being sharp or solventy.

Taste. Powerful initial impression of dark chocolate and roasted grain. The cacao provides a distinct, fudge-like mid-palate that complements the coffee and burnt-sugar malt flavors. Firm bitterness balances the residual malt sweetness, ensuring the beer is not cloying. The finish is lingering and bittersweet, with a complex interplay of dark fruit and warming alcohol.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and remarkably chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the beer's weight. A gentle, smooth alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated, providing a cozy finish without astringency.
