Perennial Artisan Ales On The Threshold of A Dream
Imperial Stout 13.8 º
This collaborative Imperial Stout from Perennial and Moksa delivers a decadent sensory experience, defined by two years of maturation in Old Fitzgerald barrels. The extended aging imparts deep notes of charred oak and bourbon, which harmonize with additions of maple and vanilla to evoke the sensation of fresh blueberry pancakes. A foundation of roasted grain provides a requisite kiss of dark chocolate, grounding the intense sweetness. Expect a complex interplay of dark fruit esters and rich, syrupy adjuncts, resulting in a luxurious profile that leans into the indulgent, dessert-like side of the style while maintaining a structured, spirit-forward backbone.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM) with high viscosity evidenced by thick, slow-moving legs. Features a small, creamy, deep tan head with moderate retention that eventually settles into a persistent thin collar.
Aroma. High intensity; a rich bouquet of sweet maple syrup and bright blueberry is layered over a base of bittersweet chocolate and espresso. Significant barrel character from the Old Fitzgerald barrels provides vanilla, toasted oak, and a warm, clean bourbon spirit presence.
Taste. The initial impression is intensely sweet, dominated by maple and ripe blueberry. The mid-palate reveals a complex malt profile of dark chocolate and heavily roasted grain. Hop bitterness is low and largely eclipsed by the sugary adjuncts and spirit character. The finish is long and lingering, tasting of vanilla-drizzled pancakes and warming bourbon.
Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a thick, chewy, and velvety texture. Low carbonation enhances the syrupy mouthfeel. A smooth, significant alcohol warmth is present and noticeable but remains well-integrated without being harsh.
