Imperial Stout 12 º

Funky Fluid

This massive Imperial Stout presents an imposing sensory profile defined by the bold inclusion of peated malt. The initial impression is dominated by an intense, phenolic aroma reminiscent of burnt cable and medicinal smoke, which seamlessly integrates with a deep foundation of roasted coffee and bittersweet dark chocolate. At 12% ABV and a staggering 36 degrees Plato, the liquid is exceptionally viscous, coating the palate with a velvety, motor-oil texture. Layers of campfire smoke, charred grain, and espresso lead into a long, warming finish where residual malt sweetness balances the aggressive roasted bitterness and heavy smoke character.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque. Pours with a dense, persistent dark mocha head that leaves thick lacing on the glass. Extreme viscosity is apparent through prominent legs and a slow-moving pour.

Aroma. High intensity. Potent notes of peat smoke and phenolic burnt cable dominate, supported by rich dark chocolate and heavy-roast espresso. Subtle undertones of blackcurrant and prune esters emerge as it warms, alongside a clean, noticeable alcohol presence and a hint of charred oak.

Taste. An explosion of roasted malt and smoke. Initial flavors of dark cocoa and charred grain are quickly met by intense peated earthiness and medicinal smoke. High bitterness from both hops and roasted malts provides structure. The finish is long and complex, featuring lingering notes of espresso and campfire, with a smooth but significant alcoholic warmth that avoids being harsh.

Mouthfeel. Extremely full-bodied and viscous; chewy and nearly syrupy in texture. Low carbonation. Significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present and well-integrated, providing a velvety, luscious coating on the palate.
