Imperial Stout 9.5 º 77 IBU

In Peccatum Craft Beer

In Peccatum Death Crush Bourbon BA is a powerful Imperial Stout that balances aggressive roasting with the refined influence of Jim Beam bourbon barrels. Its sensory profile is dominated by dark chocolate, espresso, and black licorice, softened by six months of aging that imparts distinct layers of toasted oak, vanilla, and a hint of coconut. The 9.5% ABV is well-integrated, providing a smooth, warming glow rather than harshness. On the palate, the interplay between charred grain bitterness and residual malt sweetness creates a harmonious, velvety experience, finishing with a lingering note of rich toffee and refined bourbon character.

Appearance. Opaque, jet black in the glass. It forms a thick, persistent deep tan head with excellent lacing. High viscosity is apparent in the way the beer coats the glass with visible legs.

Aroma. High intensity. Deeply roasted malt aromas of espresso and bittersweet chocolate lead the way, followed closely by Jim Beam barrel notes of vanilla, caramel, and toasted oak. Subtle esters of dried plums and raisins add complexity, alongside a clean, background alcohol warmth.

Taste. The initial impression is of rich, dark cocoa and charred grain. Mid-palate reveals complex layers of black licorice and molasses. The bourbon barrel aging contributes distinct flavors of toffee and vanilla. Bitterness is firm but balanced by a medium-sweet malt backbone. The finish is long and warming with a touch of wood tannin.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the creamy mouthfeel. A smooth, gentle alcohol warmth is noticeable but lacks any sharp or solventy edges.
