Imperial Stout 9.5 º

Ølsnedkeren

Jætten is a commanding Imperial Stout that balances raw intensity with indulgent refinement. A deep roasted core of dark chocolate and espresso is softened by the addition of salted caramel, which provides a velvety sweetness and a subtle savory counterpoint. The 9.5% ABV is masterfully integrated, offering a smooth, warming presence that bolsters the beer’s expansive, full-bodied architecture. Complex notes of dried plums and black currants emerge amidst the darkness, leading to a lingering, bittersweet finish. It is a powerful, dark, and irresistibly smooth expression of the style, capturing the untamed nature of its mythological namesake.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Pours with a thick, persistent deep tan head that leaves significant lacing. High viscosity is visible as legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity roast with notes of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and black licorice. The salted caramel addition contributes a rich, confectionary sweetness. Moderate esters of dried fruit, particularly prune and raisin, are present alongside a clean, noticeable alcohol warmth.

Taste. Massive initial impact of dark roasted malt and cocoa, followed quickly by the indulgent flavor of salted caramel. The salt provides a functional balance to the intense malt sweetness and firm hop bitterness. Flavors of toasted grain and dark fruit complexity lead to a long, warming, and bittersweet finish with a lingering roast character.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a chewy, velvety, and luscious texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, and a smooth, gentle alcohol warmth is present throughout.
