Dugges Bryggeri Saffron
Imperial Stout 12 º
This decadent Imperial Stout from Dugges Bryggeri serves as a liquid homage to the traditional Swedish Saint Lucia Bun. Part of the ambitious GRAND series, it presents an intense sensory profile defined by a heavy-handed addition of Saffron, which imparts a distinctive earthy, floral, and honey-like aroma. Beneath the spice, a robust foundation of roasted malts offers deep layers of dark chocolate and espresso. The experience is reminiscent of a rich holiday pastry, balancing the savory complexity of the Saffron with a luxurious, velvety sweetness. At 12% ABV, it provides a slow-sipping warmth perfect for a fireplace setting, delivering a harmonious blend of spice and stout.
Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (SRM 40+). Pours with a thick, creamy, deep tan head that persists with moderate lacing. High viscosity is evident, forming prominent legs on the glass walls when swirled.
Aroma. High intensity. Pungent and aromatic saffron leads, offering floral, earthy, and hay-like notes. This is layered over a rich malt base of dark chocolate, toasted bread, and roasted coffee. Low esters of prune and dried fig are present, alongside a clean, warming alcohol presence.
Taste. Bold initial sweetness transitioning into a complex interplay of roasted malt and spice. Prominent saffron flavors provide a honeyed, slightly medicinal depth. Malt character is dominated by bittersweet chocolate and espresso. Bitterness is moderate but firm, balancing the residual sugars without overwhelming the pastry-like finish. The aftertaste is long, featuring lingering spice and dark cocoa.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, contributing to a smooth, dense palate. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a gentle glow without being harsh.
