Imperial Stout 13 º 65 IBU

Prairie Artisanal Ales

Prairie Christmas Bomb! is a decadent Imperial Stout that transforms the sensory landscape into a festive feast. The pour reveals a viscous, obsidian body releasing intense aromas of freshly roasted Coffee and rich Chocolate. A complex spice profile of Cinnamon, Ginger, and Nutmeg intertwines with sweet Vanilla and a slow-building, earthy warmth from the Chilies. The palate is a luxurious tapestry of bittersweet roasted malts, dark fruit esters, and an assertive but balanced spice kick. This heavy-hitting stout offers a velvety, chewy texture and a lingering finish where festive spices and dark cocoa reside, making it a masterclass in harmonious complexity and seasonal warmth.

Appearance. SRM 40+; jet black and completely opaque. A thick, creamy, deep tan head provides moderate retention, leaving prominent oily "legs" on the glass indicative of high viscosity and alcohol content.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant espresso-like coffee and bittersweet chocolate aromas are layered with a festive spice bouquet of cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Vanilla provides a sweet counterpoint to earthy chili notes and faint dark fruit esters of raisins and prunes. No hop aroma is perceived.

Taste. Intense initial impression of rich cocoa and roasted coffee. The palate evolves into a complex spice blend where cinnamon and ginger are prominent, supported by vanilla smoothness. Moderate roast bitterness is balanced by a significant malty sweetness and dark fruit esters. The finish features a gentle chili heat and a lingering, spicy-sweet aftertaste that remains clean despite its intensity.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Notable alcohol warmth is smooth and well-integrated, paired with a subtle, warming tingle from the chilies that lacks harshness.
