Perennial Artisan Ales Pacific Rim
Imperial Stout 14.2 º
Pacific Rim is a monumental Imperial Stout that showcases the mastery of barrel aging through a collaboration with GOAL Brewing. At a commanding 14.2% ABV, it presents a dense, sensory-rich experience characterized by deep layers of oatmeal raisin and lush vanilla. The aroma is dominated by dark chocolate and scorched grain, while the palate reveals a velvety, chewy texture balanced by oak-derived sweetness. This expression emphasizes a harmonious blend of roasted malt bitterness and the complex, vinous character of extended maturation, resulting in a luxurious, warming finish that lingers with notes of dark dried fruits and toasted wood.
Appearance. Opaque, jet black (SRM 40+). Features a thick, deep tan head with moderate retention and significant viscosity that forms visible legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity with a complex blend of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and charred grain. Pronounced notes of raisin, prune, and vanilla are layered over a smooth, noticeable alcohol presence with very low earthy hop character.
Taste. Initial impression is rich and intense, leading with flavors of dark cocoa, toasted oats, and caramelized sugars. A distinct oatmeal raisin cookie sweetness is balanced by a firm roast bitterness and oak tannins. The finish is long and warming with lingering notes of vanilla and dark fruit.
Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and viscous with a chewy, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present but integrated without being harsh.
