Sweet Stout 8 º 28 IBU

Icarus Brewing

This Imperial Stout offers a decadent sensory experience inspired by classic baked goods. Deep, indulgent notes of Cacao dominate the profile, weaving together rich milk chocolate and earthy roasted malt. The addition of Vanilla and Marshmallows creates a lush, confectionary sweetness reminiscent of vanilla cream and soft fudge. Beneath the dessert-like layers, the base beer provides a robust structure of charred grain and dark fruit esters, ensuring the sweetness remains anchored by a classic roasty backbone. It is a full-bodied, indulgent expression that balances the intensity of a strong ale with the nostalgic, creamy comfort of a whoopie pie.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40 SRM). Pours with a thick, dense, dark tan head with moderate retention and significant viscosity visible as legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Pronounced scents of milk chocolate and Cacao lead, followed by heavy impressions of Marshmallows and Vanilla. Underlying notes of dark roasted malt provide coffee and light char, while subtle dark fruit esters like raisins add complexity. No hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is sweet and chocolate-forward. Layers of milk chocolate and vanilla cream meld with a toasty, bready malt base. Moderate roasted bitterness provides balance against the sugary Marshmallow character, though the finish remains moderately sweet and lingering. Low hop flavor. Complexity is high, shifting from sweet cacao to a warming, roasty aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is moderate. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present. High creaminess is enhanced by the adjunct ingredients.
