Imperial Stout 9.8 º

Naparbier

Naparbier Blindside is a formidable Imperial Stout that emerges from bourbon barrels with a sophisticated, obsidian-hued presence. The sensory journey begins with an assertive aroma of espresso and bittersweet chocolate, seamlessly interwoven with the charred oak, vanilla, and caramel notes typical of its time in the wood. On the palate, it delivers a viscous, velvety texture that carries deep flavors of roasted grain and molasses, punctuated by dark fruit esters like raisin and prune. A firm bitterness balances the residual malt sweetness, while the 9.8% alcohol provides a significant yet smooth warmth that lingers alongside nuances of toasted coconut and spirit.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM). It forms a thick, mocha-colored head with moderate retention that leaves oily legs on the glass, indicative of its high gravity and alcohol content.

Aroma. High intensity; rich layers of dark chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and black licorice meet the distinct influence of bourbon barrels, offering vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of spicy spirit. Low esters of prune and raisin are present.

Taste. Deeply complex with an initial rush of dark malt sweetness, cocoa, and espresso. The mid-palate reveals charred oak, vanilla, and toffee from the barrel aging, supported by a firm hop bitterness. The finish is bittersweet and lingering with a pleasant alcohol presence.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the creamy palate, while a notable and smooth alcohol warmth is present without being harsh or solventy.
