Russian Imperial Stout 10 º 70 IBU

Cerveza Caleya

This Russian Imperial Stout offers an intense, deep-reaching sensory profile designed for cold weather. As a tribute to the mining heritage of the Carbonera series, it displays a coal-black, light-absorbing presence. The aromatic landscape is dominated by bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and burnt grain, lifted by a significant 10% alcohol presence that provides a steady, well-integrated warmth. On the palate, a complex interplay of roasted malt depth and dark dried fruits like figs and raisins emerges, finishing with a firm, lingering bitterness that balances the residual sweetness. This Imperial Stout is a harmonious, velvety experience reflecting the strength of its namesake.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). It pours with a thick, dense, deep tan head that shows moderate retention, leaving visible legs on the glass indicative of its high viscosity and alcohol content.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich, complex blend of roasted grains. Dominant notes of dark chocolate, heavily roasted coffee, and a hint of black licorice. Moderate esters evoke dried plums and raisins. Hop aroma is low and earthy, while the alcohol provides a clean, pleasant warmth without any solventy edges.

Taste. The initial impression is an intense, multi-layered wave of roast and dark fruit. Strong flavors of bittersweet cocoa and charred toast transition into a mid-palate of fig and black currant. Bitterness is firm and assertive, effectively balancing the significant malt sweetness. The finish is long and warming, leaning toward a drying, roasted aftertaste that avoids being syrupy.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, enhancing the beer’s creamy weight. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth spreads across the palate, contributing to a luxurious sensation without any harsh astringency.
