Imperial Stout 12 º

Humble Forager Brewery

Nomads Paradise is an opulent Imperial Stout that captures the essence of a decadent confection. Deeply roasted malt notes form a dark canvas for the addition of Indian cocoa nibs, which provide an intense layer of bittersweet chocolate. Toasted coconut and roasted almonds introduce a nutty, tropical complexity that mimics a classic candy bar. The addition of PNG vanilla beans rounds out the experience with a creamy, floral sweetness, smoothing the edges of the high 12% alcohol. This beer is a viscous, multi-layered journey through rich dessert flavors, where the roasty grain base and specialty ingredients find a lush, harmonious balance.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (SRM 40+). Pours with a thick, persistent deep tan head that leaves oily lacing on the glass. High viscosity is apparent through visible legs when swirled.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate from Indian cocoa nibs and sweet, marshmallow-like PNG vanilla beans. Pronounced toasted coconut and nutty roasted almonds dominate, supported by secondary notes of espresso, dried figs, and a smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth.

Taste. A complex mix of dark chocolate and heavy roast. Initial sweetness from the PNG vanilla beans and toasted coconut is balanced by the earthy, savory depth of roasted almonds. Moderate bitterness from both hops and roasted grains prevents a cloying finish. The mid-palate reveals layers of cocoa and dark fruit esters, ending in a long, warming finish of toasted nuts and espresso.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and incredibly chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Low to moderate carbonation enhances the beer's weight. A smooth, gentle alcohol warmth is present but never sharp or solventy.
