Imperial Stout 12.6 º 30 IBU

Horus Aged Ales
Trillium Brewing Company

This Imperial Stout, a decadent collaboration between Horus Aged Ales and Trillium Brewing Company, presents an immensely viscous sensory profile defined by its 'thicc' texture. The experience begins with an intense aroma of roasted espresso and bittersweet dark chocolate, elevated by the creamy scent of peanut butter and floral vanilla bean. On the palate, heavy layers of peanut flour and cocoa merge with a robust malt backbone, providing a complex interplay of sweetness and roast. A firm bitterness balances the residual sugars, leading into a long, warming finish where lingering notes of toasted nuts and vanilla predominate.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM) with a thick, persistent deep tan head. The beer exhibits significant viscosity, leaving prominent legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant notes of dark roast coffee and baker's chocolate are complemented by strong peanut butter and sweet vanilla bean. Low esters of prune and raisin are buried beneath the intense adjuncts and smooth alcohol warmth.

Taste. Initial flavors of rich dark chocolate and espresso give way to creamy peanut butter and vanilla. The malt profile is deeply roasty but not harsh. Bitterness is moderate-high but balanced by a significant residual sweetness. The finish is long and velvety, featuring lingering cocoa and nutty peanut flour.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the high ABV without being solventy.
