Sweet Stout 11 º 45 IBU

FdS! Beer

This Imperial Stout offers a multifaceted sensory journey, blending a robust 11% ABV backbone with a distinctive Luso-Italian character. The aroma is dominated by deep roasted grains and the floral, citrus perfume of bergamot and chinotto, underpinned by the piney resin of Simcoe hops. On the palate, the velvety sweetness of lactose and rich cane honey is tempered by the structured tannins of Orange Pekoe black tea. Expect layers of dark chocolate and espresso balanced by a bright citrus lift and the lingering, earthy bitterness typical of the style. It concludes with a warming, sophisticated finish that marries herbal complexity with luscious, full-bodied indulgence.

Appearance. Opaque, jet black with a deep tan, creamy head that shows moderate retention. Visible viscosity creates thick legs on the glass when swirled.

Aroma. High intensity with complex layers of roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Pronounced citrus and floral notes from bergamot and chinotto meld with the resinous, earthy character of Simcoe hops. Subtle notes of dark molasses and a hint of black tea tannin are present.

Taste. Initial impression is rich and sweet with cane honey and dark chocolate. Mid-palate reveals sharp citrus brightness from Sicilian chinotto and the herbal, tannic structure of Orange Pekoe tea. Firm bitterness from both roasted grains and hops provides balance. The finish is long and warming with lingering notes of espresso and citrus peel.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture enhanced by lactose. Moderate carbonation. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth provides a pleasant glow without being sharp.
