This Imperial Stout presents an opulent, dessert-like experience, leaning into Omnipollo’s signature decadence. An intense base of dark chocolate and roasted malts is elevated by a massive infusion of toasted coconut and cocoa nibs, creating a profile reminiscent of premium chocolate ice cream. The 12.1% ABV provides a significant, smooth warmth that integrates with the barrel-aged nuances of vanilla and toasted oak. Expect a complex interplay of dark fruit esters like prunes and raisins against a backdrop of rich, syrupy sweetness. The finish is lingering and bittersweet, balancing the heavy viscosity with a deep, wood-influenced character that remains harmonious despite its intensity.

Aroma.High intensity with a rich blend of toasted coconut, bittersweet chocolate, and espresso. Deep roasted grain notes are complemented by dark fruit esters of prune and fig. Barrel aging adds prominent layers of vanilla, caramel, and a subtle spirit-like warmth.
Taste.Initial impression is intensely sweet and malty, dominated by chocolate and coconut flavors. The malt profile includes layers of cocoa, burnt toast, and dark caramel. Hop bitterness is medium but appears lower due to the significant residual sweetness. The finish is long and complex, featuring lingering notes of vanilla-oak and a pleasant alcohol warmth.
Mouthfeel.Very full-bodied with a viscous, chewy, and velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the creamy ice cream-like sensation. A smooth, noticeable warmth is present without being sharp or solventy.
