Icarus Brewing Fluffist
Imperial Stout 8.8 º
Fluffist is a decadent Imperial Stout that leans heavily into its dessert-inspired profile. Built on a foundation of rich English Malts and Debittered Black Malts, the sensory experience is dominated by lavish additions of Cacao and Madagascar Vanilla Beans. The inclusion of heavy oats creates a lush, velvety backdrop for the distinct sweetness of Marshmallow and the honeyed, toasted notes of Graham Crackers. It presents a complex tapestry of confectionary delights, where the smooth roast of the malt balances the sugary intensity, resulting in a harmonious, lingering finish reminiscent of a campfire treat.
Appearance. Opaque, jet black (40+ SRM) with a thick, persistent deep tan head that leaves dense, oily lacing. High viscosity is apparent in the glass.
Aroma. High intensity; bold aromas of milk chocolate and cacao nibs lead, followed immediately by sweet marshmallow cream and floral Madagascar Vanilla Beans. Secondary notes of honeyed graham cracker and a subtle, nutty richness from the English Malts are present with no hop aroma.
Taste. The initial impression is intensely sweet and chocolate-forward. Layers of vanilla and marshmallow provide a creamy mid-palate, while the graham crackers offer a toasted, bready spice. Debittered Black Malts provide a smooth dark grain character without acridity or burnt harshness. Perceived bitterness is low, allowing the dessert elements to lead into a long, sweet, and rich finish.
Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a thick, chewy, and velvety texture derived from the heavy oat addition. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a gentle background glow.
