Millenialistic Falcon is a decadent Imperial Stout that showcases a luxurious interplay between roasted malts and specialty adjuncts. The sensory profile is headlined by the elegant floral and jasmine-like nuances of Geisha Coffee, which lift the heavy, toasted richness of the added Hazelnuts. On the palate, a viscous, ink-like body carries deep waves of dark chocolate and espresso, softened by the sugary, vanilla-laden sweetness of Marshmallow. Despite its massive 14.4% ABV, the alcohol provides a smooth, integrated warmth. This complex beer finishes with a lingering, velvety sweetness where the delicate acidity of the coffee balances the dense, nutty confectionary notes.
Appearance.Opaque, midnight black (SRM 40+). Pours with a thick, dense, dark tan head that shows moderate retention and oily lacing. High viscosity is apparent in the legs left on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity with dominant notes of toasted hazelnuts and dark chocolate. The Geisha Coffee contributes unique floral, bergamot, and light citrus aromatics. Sweet marshmallow and vanilla bean are prominent, layered over rich, bready malt and subtle dark fruit esters like plum or fig. Hop aroma is absent.
Taste.Intensely rich and sweet. Initial flavors of bittersweet chocolate and earthy, toasted nuts give way to a complex coffee character featuring light acidity and floral highlights. The Marshmallow provides a creamy, confectionary sweetness through the mid-palate. Bitterness is low to moderate, derived primarily from roasted malts and coffee rather than hops. The finish is long and lingering with notes of hazelnut praline and espresso.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and exceptionally viscous with a thick, chewy texture. Carbonation is low, enhancing the creamy mouthfeel. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present but not harsh or fusel. No astringency despite the high coffee and nut content.
