Imperial Stout 11 º

PINTA

This Imperial Stout presents a decadent and dark as night sensory experience, defined by its high viscosity and intricate layering of dessert-like notes. The initial impression is dominated by rich chocolate and cocoa, evolving into the sophisticated sweetness of Belgian pralines and buttery toffee. The infusion of aromatic vanilla provides a smooth, creamy counterpoint to the roasted grain base, while the addition of cinnamon adds a subtle, spicy depth that lingers on the palate. At 11% ABV, a gentle, integrated warmth supports the opulent malt profile, creating a harmonious balance between intense roast character and indulgent confectionery flavors, resulting in a luxurious, velvety finish.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). Pours with a thick, creamy, deep tan to dark brown head with moderate retention. High viscosity is apparent in the glass, leaving noticeable legs after swirling.

Aroma. High intensity. Rich, roasted malt notes of bittersweet chocolate, cocoa powder, and dark-roasted coffee. Significant adjunct character of sweet vanilla bean and spicy, woody cinnamon. Subtle esters suggest dark fruits like raisins or dried plums. Very low hop aroma. A clean but noticeable alcohol warmth is present, well-integrated with notes of toffee and caramel.

Taste. Intense and complex. Initial flavors of dark chocolate and Belgian pralines give way to a deep, roasty bitterness. The vanilla adds a perceived sweetness and roundness, while the cinnamon provides a spicy warmth on the mid-palate. Moderate hop bitterness provides enough structure to balance the heavy malt weight. The finish is moderately sweet and lingering, with a persistent aftertaste of cocoa, spice, and toasted grain.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a chewy, velvety, and luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the beer’s thick and syrupy character. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth is present but not harsh or solventy. Very low grain-derived astringency.
