Croma Ursus (Cachaça & Bourbon Barrel Aged)
Imperial Stout 12 º
This Imperial Stout presents an opulent sensory journey, shaped by up to 24 months of aging in Cachaça and Bourbon barrels. The pour is an impenetrable jet black, releasing an intense bouquet where the earthy, red-fruit notes of 2SL Coffee meld with the woody sweetness of Maple. On the palate, the dual-barrel influence provides a complex interplay between the spicy, grassy notes of Cachaça and the vanillins of Bourbon. Deep layers of bittersweet chocolate and charred malt support the 12% ABV warmth, while the maple adds a rich, velvety depth that lingers into a long, decadent, and spirit-forward finish.
Appearance. Jet black and fully opaque (SRM 40+). It produces a dense, dark tan head with moderate retention, leaving thick, oily legs on the glass as a testament to its high viscosity.
Aroma. Highly intense and multifaceted. Initial aromas of freshly roasted 2SL Coffee and dark cocoa are layered over significant barrel influence, showcasing vanilla, toasted oak, and a unique cane-sugar spiciness from the Cachaça. Moderate esters of prune and black currant emerge, complemented by a distinct, woody maple sweetness and a smooth, integrated alcohol presence.
Taste. Rich and complex, beginning with an assertive burst of espresso and bittersweet chocolate. The mid-palate introduces the maple's caramelized depth and the spirituous character of Bourbon and Cachaça, providing notes of caramel, spice, and oak. Bitterness is firm but balanced by the residual malt sugar. The finish is long and warming, evolving from roasted grain to a lingering, sweet-syrup and oak-tannin conclusion.
Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and chewy with a luscious, velvety, and mouth-coating texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the beer's creamy weight. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present and noticeable, providing a comforting glow without being solventy.
