Cévique Imperial Stout
Imperial Stout 7 º
Honoring its heritage as a Russian Imperial Stout, this expression presents a deep, opaque ebony hue beneath a thick, dark tan head. The sensory journey begins with an intense aroma of espresso and bittersweet chocolate, layered with subtle notes of dried figs and black currants. On the palate, the beer reveals a rich complexity of charred grains and cocoa, balanced by a firm bitterness that ensures a clean, bittersweet finish. Despite its lower strength for the style at 7% ABV, it maintains a velvety, medium-full body and a gentle, integrated warmth that echoes the historical cold-climate brews of the 18th-century English courts.
Appearance. Very dark reddish-brown to jet black (30-40 SRM); completely opaque; supports a dense, long-lasting deep tan head with moderate lacing.
Aroma. High intensity aromatics of roasted grain featuring prominent notes of bittersweet chocolate and dark-roast coffee. Secondary aromas include moderate dark fruit esters resembling prunes and dried black currants, with a low, earthy hop presence and no sharp alcohol.
Taste. Initial flavors of rich, toasted malt and cocoa lead into a complex middle of black licorice and burnt sugar. Moderate to high bitterness provides a sturdy counterpoint to the malt sweetness. The finish is long and bittersweet, with a lingering espresso-like roast character and a clean fermentation profile.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full to full body with a smooth, velvety texture and slight viscosity. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to prevent a cloying sensation. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present without being hot or solventy.
