Russian Imperial Stout 11.5 º

PINTA

PINTA Risfactor is a massive Imperial Stout that pours jet black with a dense, mahogany head. The sensory experience is anchored by a massive grain bill of bready and biscuity base malts and English roasted malts, yielding an intense bouquet of Belgian pralines, dark cocoa, and rich toffee candies. At 11.5% ABV, a smooth, integrated warmth supports deep layers of bittersweet chocolate and toasted grain. The 30° Plato gravity results in a viscous, chewy texture that coats the palate, leading to a lingering finish where roasted bitterness meets caramelized sweetness. It is a harmonious, complex example of the style, balancing aggressive roasted character with luxurious confectionary notes.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Dense, persistent deep tan head with excellent lacing. High viscosity is evident as thick legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Rich roast profile dominated by dark chocolate, cocoa powder, and espresso. Significant malt-derived toffee and sweet breadiness. Subtle dark fruit esters of raisin and prune. Hop aroma is very low, allowing the English roasted malts to lead. Clean fermentation with a gentle, warming ethanol presence.

Taste. The initial impression is a rich wave of Belgian pralines and bittersweet chocolate. The mid-palate reveals deep bready and biscuity malt layers supported by a firm but smooth bitterness. Flavors of toffee and charred grain meld with light dried fruit. The finish is moderately sweet and lingering, showcasing a complex interplay of roast and caramel without being cloying or syrupy.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and exceptionally chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Low to moderate carbonation. Significant but smooth alcohol warmth that is well-integrated and non-solventy. No perceived astringency.
