Imperial Stout 12 º 95 IBU

Ghost Brewing

Darkest Moon is a monolithic Imperial Stout, presenting an imposing sensory profile born from its double-mash technique. It pours with an ink-like opacity, topped by a dense, mocha-colored foam. The aroma is a concentrated fusion of bittersweet chocolate, espresso beans, and dark molasses, underpinned by vinous esters reminiscent of black currants and dried figs. On the palate, it delivers a massive wave of roasted grains, charred oak, and a lingering, syrupy sweetness that balances the aggressive bitterness. The 12% ABV provides a significant but smooth warmth, rounding out a velvety, full-bodied experience that defines its indulgent, midnight-dark character.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque; features a thick, long-lasting deep tan head with visible viscosity and legs on the glass indicative of its high alcohol content.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and black licorice; secondary notes of raisins and plums accompany a smooth, vinous alcohol presence and low earthy hops.

Taste. Intense flavors of bittersweet cocoa, espresso, and burnt grain; the malt profile is deep and complex with molasses and toasted bread notes. Bitterness is firm and provides balance against the heavy malt sweetness, leading to a long, warming, and slightly roasted finish.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a thick, chewy, and velvety texture; carbonation is low to moderate, and a smooth, notable alcohol warmth is present without being harsh.
