Russian Imperial Stout 12 º 96 IBU

DUM Cervejaria

This Imperial Stout pours a viscous, jet-black liquid reminiscent of its namesake, topped with a dense tan head. The sensory experience is dominated by intense roasted malt aromas of fresh espresso and bittersweet Belgian cocoa. On the palate, a complex layering of dark chocolate and roasted grain provides a robust foundation, while the addition of oats contributes a luxurious, velvety texture. Despite its formidable 12% ABV, the alcohol warmth is smoothly integrated into the long, bittersweet finish. A pronounced bitterness balances the decadent malt profile, resulting in a harmonious, unforgettable character defined by deep roast and dark fruit nuances.

Appearance. Opaque, jet black (SRM 40+). Dense, persistent dark tan head with fine bubbles. Visible viscosity and legs when swirled due to high alcohol and extract content.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant notes of freshly roasted coffee and dark chocolate from the Belgian cocoa. Subtle background esters of dried dark fruits like raisins and prunes. Clean fermentation with a well-integrated, spicy alcohol presence.

Taste. Intense initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and espresso. Significant roasted malt bitterness provides a firm balance to the heavy malt sweetness and high ABV. Mid-palate reveals hints of black licorice and toasted grain. The finish is long and warming with a lingering cocoa and roasted character.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and extremely viscous, almost chewy. The inclusion of oats provides a smooth, creamy, and velvety texture. Low to moderate carbonation. Significant but smooth alcohol warmth without being harsh or solventy.
