Imperial Stout 8.2 º

Les Fleurs du Malt

This Imperial Stout presents a sophisticated marriage of intense roast and barrel-derived complexity. The base beer provides a foundation of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and burnt grain, which is elevated by extended aging in rum barrels. This maturation imparts decadent notes of molasses, spiced vanilla, and toasted oak, seamlessly blending with the natural dark fruit esters of raisins and prunes. The result is a harmonious, warming experience where the firm bitterness of the style is rounded out by the rum's sugary influence. Its viscous, velvety texture ensures a lingering finish of cocoa and spirituous warmth, evocative of its Caribbean inspiration.

Appearance. Opaque jet black (40 SRM). Topped with a dense, persistent deep tan head. High viscosity is apparent in the glass, leaving noticeable legs when swirled.

Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring a rich blend of dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and black licorice. Significant rum barrel influence introduces spicy oak, vanilla, and brown sugar. Moderate esters suggest dried figs and raisins, supported by a smooth, clean alcohol presence.

Taste. Bold initial impression of heavily roasted malt, offering flavors of cocoa and charred grain. The mid-palate reveals rum-soaked fruit, molasses, and a touch of wood tannin. Firm bitterness provides balance against the rich malt sweetness. The finish is long and warming, with an aftertaste of dark chocolate and subtle spice.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, enhancing the beer's creamy weight. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a gentle glow without being sharp.
