Russian Imperial Stout 12 º 55 IBU

Cervejaria Invicta

This Imperial Stout presents a commandingly dark and viscous profile, pouring a deep jet black. The sensory experience is dominated by an intense fusion of roasted malts, delivering layers of bittersweet chocolate and espresso, which are elevated by a vibrant, tart addition of raspberry. At twelve percent alcohol, a sophisticated warmth permeates the palate, integrating seamlessly with the dark fruit esters of plum and raisin. The raspberry addition provides a bright acidity that cuts through the heavy, velvety body, leading to a long, complex finish where charred grain and jammy fruit linger harmoniously alongside a firm, supportive bitterness.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). It features a thick, deep tan head with moderate retention and noticeable legs on the glass, indicating high viscosity and alcohol content.

Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee, and charred grain. The raspberry addition contributes a sharp, fruity brightness, complemented by secondary esters of dried plums and raisins. A clean but prominent alcohol warmth is present.

Taste. Initial impression is of rich, dark chocolate and espresso-like roastiness. The raspberry provides a tart, jammy contrast that balances the heavy malt sweetness. Bitterness is firm and assertive (aligned with 50-90 IBU standards), though buffered by the high gravity. The finish is long and bittersweet with a lingering fruit and roast aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a chewy, velvety, and luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A distinct, smooth alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated, avoiding any harsh or solventy character.
