Sweet Stout 12 º

Commonwealth Brewing Company

Scoopski presents a decadent sensory profile that reimagines the Imperial Stout as a liquid Neapolitan treat. At a robust 12% ABV, the beer leads with an intense bouquet of rich dark chocolate and Madagascar-style vanilla, layered over a luscious base of roasted malts. The addition of strawberry provides a bright, jammy counterpoint to the deep, bittersweet cocoa notes. Expect a viscous, velvet-like texture that coats the palate, delivering a harmonious balance of charred grain bitterness and residual dessert-like sweetness. It is a complex, warming experience where the berries and vanilla soften the bold, roasty edges of the style.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM) with a thick, creamy, dark tan head that shows moderate retention. High viscosity is evidenced by slow-moving legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Bold layers of dark chocolate and aromatic vanilla beans dominate, followed by a distinct ripe strawberry ester character. Supporting these are deep roasted malt notes of espresso and charred toast, with a subtle vinous alcohol warmth. Hop aroma is very low to absent.

Taste. Rich and multifaceted. Initial flavors of cocoa powder and sweet cream vanilla transition into a mid-palate of jammy strawberry. The malt base provides heavy roast, dark chocolate, and a hint of black licorice. Bitterness is moderate but balanced by significant residual sweetness. The finish is long and lingering, featuring a blend of roasted grain and berry sweetness with no harshness.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a thick, chewy, and velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, enhancing the creamy mouthfeel. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth provides a comforting glow.
