Dunham Stout Impériale Russe
This Imperial Stout offers a deep sensory immersion into the dark side of malt. Dominated by a robust roasted profile, it leads with intense aromas of freshly ground coffee and rich mocha. Brasserie Dunham has crafted a liquid that balances a sustained bitterness with complex undertones of dark chocolate and faint dried fruits like raisins or prunes. The experience is undeniably warming, reflecting its nine percent strength, while remaining velvety and smooth on the palate. Its profile suggests a beer designed for slow sipping during winter, where the layers of bittersweet chocolate and charred grain meld into a harmonious, lingering finish.
Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). It pours with a dense, persistent deep tan head that leaves significant lacing. Visible viscosity is apparent as legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity with a rich, complex blend of dark-roasted malts. Prominent notes of mocha, espresso, and bittersweet chocolate are layered with subtle esters of prunes and black currants. A low, earthy hop presence and a clean, smooth alcohol warmth round out the bouquet.
Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of roast and mocha. Strong flavors of freshly roasted coffee dominate the mid-palate, supported by a firm, sustained bitterness. Complex malt notes of toasted bread and dark cocoa are balanced by a hint of caramel sweetness. The finish is long and bittersweet, transitioning from charred grain to a warming, vinous aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing enough lift to prevent a syrupy sensation. A pleasant, gentle alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated.
