Cycle Brewing Company 3rd Anniversary BA Brazil Oberon
Imperial Stout 10.5 º
This barrel-aged Imperial Stout showcases a luxurious marriage of deep roasted malts and the distinctive Brazil Oberon coffee. The pour is viscous and ink-black, yielding a rich aroma of freshly ground espresso, toasted hazelnut, and dark chocolate. On the palate, the Brazil Oberon coffee introduces earthy nuances and a hint of red fruit, which perfectly complements the barrel-driven notes of charred oak and sweet vanilla. The high gravity provides a velvety, coating texture, while the warmth of the bourbon barrel integration lingers alongside a moderate bitterness from roasted grains. It is a decadent, complex profile defined by coffee-driven elegance and barrel depth.
Appearance. Opaque, ink-black (SRM 40+). Pours with a thick, creamy, dark tan head with moderate retention and significant oily lacing on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity aroma dominated by Brazil Oberon coffee, offering notes of roasted nuts and dark cocoa. The base style provides layers of burnt sugar and espresso, supported by barrel-derived vanilla, oak, and a hint of bourbon. Low dark fruit esters are present.
Taste. Rich and complex initial impression of sweetened espresso and dark chocolate. The Brazil Oberon coffee adds earthy and slightly fruity complexity. Malt flavors include toasted bread crust, molasses, and heavy roast. Hop bitterness is moderate but masked by the thick malt body. The finish is long and lingering with a balance of coffee acidity, charred oak, and residual malt sweetness.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and highly viscous with a chewy, velvet-like texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Noticeable alcohol warmth is smooth and well-integrated, providing a pleasant glow without being harsh.
