Imperial Stout 10.8 º 36 IBU

FrauGruber Brewing

This Imperial Stout presents a decadent sensory profile centered on a massive addition of Philippine coconut. The experience begins with a concentrated aroma of toasted coconut and dark chocolate macaroons, layered over deep roasted malt notes of espresso and black licorice. On the palate, the oily richness of the coconut provides a luxurious texture that complements flavors of bittersweet cocoa, molasses, and dried figs. While the 10.8% ABV offers a smooth, integrated warmth, the substantial roasted bitterness prevents the finish from becoming cloying. It is a harmonious, intensely-flavored stout that balances tropical nuttiness with charred malt complexity.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40 SRM). Pours with a dense, persistent dark tan head that leaves significant lacing. High viscosity is evident as slow-moving legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant notes of freshly toasted coconut and coconut cream are interlaced with bittersweet chocolate, heavy roast, and roasted coffee beans. Subtle background esters of prunes and raisins mix with a clean, warming alcohol presence.

Taste. Intensely flavored with an initial impression of dark chocolate-covered coconut. The mid-palate reveals deep malt complexity including burnt grain, molasses, and dark fruit. Hop bitterness is firm but balanced by a medium-sweet finish. The aftertaste lingers with roasted coffee and rich, nutty coconut.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a viscous, chewy, and velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth spreads across the palate without being sharp or solventy.
