This collaboration Imperial Stout presents an opulent sensory profile shaped by a twenty-six-month maturation in Quebec spirit barrels. The extended aging creates a seamless integration of charred oak and spirituous complexity alongside a deep base of roasted malts. Expect an aromatic intensity of dark chocolate, espresso, and dried figs, transitioning into a luscious, full-bodied palate. The barrel influence contributes notes of vanilla and caramelized sugars, balancing the bold bitterness inherent to the style. A velvety texture and significant alcohol warmth define the experience, culminating in a lingering, vinous finish that showcases the harmonious evolution of this massive, dark ale.
Appearance.Jet black and completely opaque (SRM 40+). It pours with a thick, dark tan head that shows moderate retention, leaving oily legs on the glass as a testament to its high viscosity.
Aroma.High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee, and black licorice. The spirit barrels contribute significant notes of oak, vanilla, and a hint of dark fruit esters such as raisins and prunes, with a smooth, warming alcohol presence.
Taste.The initial impression is intensely malty and sweet, featuring flavors of cocoa, molasses, and toasted grain. This is followed by a complex interplay of barrel-derived tannins and spirit character. The bitterness is firm but well-integrated, leading to a long, lingering finish of dried fruit and port-like oxidation from the extended aging.
Mouthfeel.Full to very full-bodied with a chewy, velvety, and luscious texture. Carbonation is low, emphasizing the beer's weight. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, devoid of harshness or solvent notes.
