Imperial Stout 8.5 º

Duration Brewing

Duration Brewing Fortitude is a robust Imperial Stout that balances depth with approachability. The experience begins with an inviting aroma of caramel and burnt sugar, transitioning into a complex palate of bittersweet chocolate and freshly toasted bread. Deeply roasted coffee notes provide a firm backbone, harmonizing with a dry finish that highlights the beer's structural integrity. Despite its strength, the 8.5% ABV is presented with a gentle, comforting warmth rather than sharp heat. The smooth, velvety texture coats the tongue, delivering a sense of resilience and richness. This classic interpretation eschews modern trends for a traditional, roasty profile that remains steadfast and soul-warming throughout the glass.

Appearance. Opaque jet black (30–40 SRM). Pours with a dense, deep tan head showing moderate retention and leaving significant lacing on the glass. High viscosity is apparent in the pour.

Aroma. High intensity roast-forward character featuring burnt sugar and rich caramel sweetness. Distinct notes of dark-roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate are complemented by subtle dark fruit esters like prune or black currant. A clean fermentation profile with a soft, integrated alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impact of bittersweet chocolate and espresso leads to a mid-palate of toasted bread and deep malt complexity. Firm hop bitterness and roasted grain astringency balance the residual malt sugars. The finish is notably dry and clean, leaving a lingering aftertaste of cocoa and roasted grain without being cloying.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is moderate to low, enhancing the creamy mouthfeel. A light, pleasant alcohol warmth is present but remains smooth and well-integrated.
