Russian Imperial Stout 12 º

Hornbeer

Hornbeer Dirty Danish Oil is a massive, viscous Imperial Stout that lives up to its name with a motor-oil-like appearance and deep complexity. At 12% ABV, it presents an intense sensory experience dominated by heavily roasted grains, delivering assertive notes of dark chocolate and espresso. The aroma is rich with charred malt and hints of dried dark fruits, leading into a thick, chewy palate. A firm bitterness balances the residual malt sweetness, ensuring the dense, velvety body doesn't become cloying. The finish is long and warming, punctuated by lingering cocoa and a touch of black licorice, perfectly epitomizing the robust character of a traditional Imperial Stout.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM). Features a dense, persistent dark tan head with excellent lacing. High viscosity is evident as the beer leaves thick legs on the glass when swirled.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and heavily charred grain. Moderate esters of dark fruit such as prunes and raisins are present. Low earthy hop aroma with a clean but prominent alcohol warmth.

Taste. Intense initial impression of dark chocolate and roasted coffee beans. The malt profile is deep and complex, supported by a medium-high bitterness that prevents a syrupy sensation. Finishes with a bittersweet balance of charred malt and dark fruit, leaving a long, warming aftertaste of cocoa and a hint of black licorice.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied, thick, and chewy with a velvety, oil-like texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Significant alcohol warmth is present but remains smooth and well-integrated.
