La Débauche DIPA
Imperial IPA 8 º
This unique Double IPA presents a distinctive departure from the classic gold-toned style, offering a light ruby hue and a sensory profile that balances intensity with unexpected depth. An initial wave of sweetness leads into a complex layer of bitter chocolate and ripe red fruits, likely derived from a combination of specialty malts and expressive modern hops. Despite the atypical malt-forward introduction, the beer maintains its stylistic core with a high hop presence. The experience concludes with a firm, spicy, and lingering bitterness that cuts through the 8% ABV warmth, ensuring a dry and assertive finish characteristic of the style.
Appearance. Light ruby to deep copper (14-17 SRM); clear with a moderate-sized, persistent, off-white head that leaves consistent lacing.
Aroma. High intensity hop aroma featuring notes of pine, resin, and red berries; supported by a unique background of toasted bread and a faint hint of dark cocoa. Fermentation profile is clean with light fruity esters.
Taste. The palate begins with a noticeable sweetness that quickly evolves into a blend of bitter chocolate and tart red fruit. Hop flavor is strong, echoing the resinous and spicy aroma. Bitterness is firm and high (60-100 IBU range), balancing the initial malt weight. The finish is spicy, dry, and distinctly bitter with a clean aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-high. A well-integrated, restrained alcohol warmth is present, without any harsh hop-derived astringency.
