Imperial Stout 10 º 60 IBU

Dutch Bargain

This Imperial Stout is a decadent, multi-layered sensory journey inspired by Mexican culinary traditions. At 10% ABV, the beer presents an intense foundation of roasted malts and bittersweet Cacao, providing deep chocolate and espresso notes. The addition of aromatic Cinnamon adds a warm, earthy complexity that mingles with subtle dark fruit esters of plum and raisin. While the initial palate focuses on the velvety sweetness and charred grain, a deliberate Habanero pepper heat gradually builds, providing a spicy, lingering tingle that contrasts the beer’s rich viscosity. It is a harmonious blend of sweetness, spice, and heat, balancing the intensity of a strong stout with exotic botanical accents.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40). Pours with a dense, persistent dark tan head that leaves moderate lacing. High alcohol and viscosity are evident through visible legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant aromas of bittersweet cocoa powder and dark chocolate are complemented by a distinct, spicy cinnamon note. Deep roasted malts suggest espresso and charred grain. Low esters of dried plums and raisins emerge as it warms, alongside a clean alcohol presence and a faint earthy pepper undertone.

Taste. Initial impression of rich dark chocolate, toasted bread, and caramel. The mid-palate introduces woody cinnamon spice that bridges the gap between the sweet malt and the emerging pepper heat. Bitterness is moderate to firm, providing structure against the residual sweetness. The finish is long and complex, featuring lingering roasted grains, a smooth alcohol glow, and a distinctive, delayed spicy tingle from the habanero peppers.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied, chewy, and velvety with a luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present. A noticeable, capsaicin-derived prickle from the habanero adds a unique tactile dimension to the finish.
