Perennial Artisan Ales Acai Bowl
Imperial Stout 12.5 º
This Imperial Stout offers a luxurious sensory experience, merging deep roasted malt with a dense, jammy character. The collaboration highlights a complex barrel program featuring Willett, Wild Turkey Rye, and Buffalo Trace barrels, imparting layers of charred oak and spicy rye. The addition of acai fruit provides a dark, berry-like tang that cuts through the viscosity, while roasted cashews and cocoa nibs contribute a rich, nutty chocolate foundation. A hint of vanilla rounds out the finish, creating a cohesive, velvety profile that balances the high ABV with an intricate interplay of dessert-like sweetness and vinous dark fruit.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM) with high viscosity creating noticeable legs on the glass. A thin, dark brown head shows moderate retention and leaves light lacing.
Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate and espresso. Deeply complex barrel notes of spicy rye, bourbon, and toasted oak meld with jammy acai fruit and nutty cashews. Vanilla and dark fruit esters like raisins and prunes are prominent.
Taste. The initial impression is an intense explosion of dark cocoa and roasted malt, followed by a jammy acai fruit tartness. Mid-palate reveals buttery cashews and sweet vanilla. Barrel aging provides a firm oak backbone with spicy rye notes. Bitterness is moderate but balanced by significant residual sweetness. The finish is lingering, warming, and bittersweet.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, avoiding any harshness.
