Imperial Stout 10.2 º 45 IBU

ROTT. Brouwers

This Imperial Stout presents an imposing yet alluring profile, characterized by its profound depth and velvety texture. At 10.2% ABV, it offers a sophisticated warmth that complements a rich tapestry of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and charred grain. The darkness suggested by its name is reflected in the intense roasted malt character, which provides a sturdy foundation for notes of dried plum and black currant. A firm bitterness balances the residual sweetness, leading to a lingering, harmonious finish that evolves from sharp roast to smooth cocoa. It is a dense, meditative beer designed for slow, atmospheric appreciation.

Appearance. Opaque, jet black with a dense, dark tan head that exhibits moderate retention. High viscosity is apparent through the presence of thick legs when swirled.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of dark chocolate, espresso, and black licorice. Prominent esters of raisins and dried figs intermingle with a smooth, vinous alcohol presence and a low, earthy hop character.

Taste. Initial impression of intense bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee beans. A complex malt backbone provides flavors of burnt toast and dark caramel, supported by moderate-high bitterness. The finish is long and warming with a lingering cocoa and charred grain aftertaste, maintaining a balanced-sweet profile without being cloying.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, and a smooth, gentle alcohol warmth is noticeable but well-integrated, lacking any harshness or astringency.
