This decadent American Stout, a collaboration with Slovenian coffee experts Kofein, delivers an immersive dessert experience. Pouring a viscous, opaque black, it leads with an intense aroma of freshly roasted coffee and rich dark chocolate, evoking a classic tiramisu. The high alcohol content provides a smooth, integrated warmth that carries flavors of creamy vanilla and toasted malts across the palate. Despite its sweet, confectionery inspiration, a firm hop bitterness ensures a balanced profile. The marriage of deep roasted grains and authentic coffee bean character creates a complex, lingering sensory journey that resonates with the bold character of a high-gravity Italian dessert-inspired ale.
Appearance.Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+); features a thick, persistent light brown head with excellent lacing.
Aroma.High intensity; dominant roasted coffee beans and bittersweet chocolate. Secondary notes of vanilla and cream underscore the tiramisu theme. Low resinous hop aroma and moderate, clean alcohol presence.
Taste.Bold initial impression of espresso and dark malt. Mid-palate reveals layers of caramel, chocolate, and a creamy sweetness reminiscent of ladyfingers. High bitterness from both roasted grains and hops provides balance against the 10% ABV. The finish is long and bittersweet with a lingering coffee bean quality.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and velvety with a notable creaminess. Moderate carbonation. Significant but smooth alcohol warmth that is well-integrated and never harsh.
