Imperial Stout 8.7 º 80 IBU

Cervezas Medina

Medina Mancha Negra presents an intense sensory journey through the heart of an American-influenced Imperial Stout. Pouring an opaque, midnight black with a dense, persistent tan head, it immediately releases a high-intensity bouquet of freshly roasted coffee beans and bittersweet chocolate. This roasty core is sharpened by a distinct American hop character, offering resinous and citrusy counterpoints to the rich malt base. On the palate, deep layers of cacao and espresso meld with a subtle liquor-like warmth, finishing with a firm bitterness and a lingering, velvety complexity that belies its robust 8.7% ABV while remaining remarkably approachable.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Features a dense, persistent dark tan head with thick lacing and visible viscosity/legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by dark roasted grains, espresso, and bittersweet chocolate. Moderate resinous and citrusy hop notes. Low esters of prune and black currant. Distinct but smooth alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impact of rich, dark chocolate and charred grain. Strong coffee and cacao flavors are prominent, supported by a medium-high bitterness that balances the residual malt sweetness. Nuanced dark fruit notes lead into a long, dryly roasty finish with a warming liquor-like aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Low to moderate carbonation. Noticeable, smooth alcohol warmth provides a strong character without being harsh or solventy.
