Imperial Stout 13 º

Quatro Graus

This Imperial Stout presents a decadent, dessert-forward profile often referred to as a Pastry Stout. Deeply indulgent aromas of toasted coconut and rich cocoa dominate the nose, supported by floral honey and smooth vanilla. The 13% alcohol by volume provides a significant but integrated warmth that complements the velvety sweetness derived from lactose. On the palate, the roast malt character provides a firm backbone of bittersweet chocolate and espresso, balancing the intense additions of coconut and cocoa. It is a viscous, celebratory beer that captures a nostalgic, comforting essence through its luscious, multi-layered complexity and a lingering, sweet-roasty finish.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40+). Pours with a dense, dark tan head that shows moderate retention, leaving thick oily legs on the glass due to the high alcohol and adjunct content.

Aroma. High intensity. Pronounced aromas of toasted coconut and dark cocoa nibs lead the profile, followed by creamy vanilla and a hint of wildflower honey. The base malt offers deep roasted coffee and bittersweet chocolate notes, accompanied by subtle dark fruit esters like raisins and prunes.

Taste. Initial impression is very sweet and rich, featuring prominent coconut and luscious milk chocolate flavors. The honey adds a distinct floral sugar character, while vanilla softens the roasted edges. Moderate roasted bitterness provides essential balance against the heavy lactose sweetness. The finish is long and warming, with lingering notes of toasted grain and cocoa.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a chewy, velvety, and luscious texture enhanced by lactose. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth is present throughout, providing a pleasant glow without being sharp or solventy.
