Imperial Stout 9.3 º 48 IBU

Portus Blendium

This Imperial Stout offers a decadent sensory experience, bridging the gap between a refined aperitif and a rich dessert. The journey begins with an intense perfume of roasted coffee, a testament to the complex grist of seven malts. On the palate, a velvety layer of dark chocolate dominates, supported by an assertive yet balanced bitterness derived from the four-hop blend. The 9.3% ABV provides a gentle, integrated warmth that carries the roasted grain profile through a long, luxurious finish. Deeply dark and opaque, it expertly balances charred bitterness with a lingering cocoa sweetness, creating a harmonious and sophisticated profile designed for the serious enthusiast.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM). Features a well-formed, dense beige to tan head with moderate retention and visible viscosity as the liquid moves in the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominated by rich, roasted malt characteristics of freshly roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate. Subtle underlying notes of caramel and toasty grain are present. Low esters suggest faint dark fruits like plums. Hop aroma is low and earthy, with a clean fermentation profile and integrated alcohol.

Taste. Bold and complex with an initial impression of heavy roasted grain. Intense flavors of espresso and dark chocolate dominate the mid-palate. Bitterness is firm and balanced by the substantial malt depth, preventing the beer from becoming cloying. The finish is long and bittersweet, leaving a lingering aftertaste of cocoa and smooth, background warmth.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, providing a pleasant glow without being hot. Low astringency despite the significant roasted grain presence.
