Imperial Stout 13 º 50 IBU

Santina
Humanoide Cerveza Artesanal

This Imperial Stout is a decadent, dessert-focused experience, pouring jet black with a viscous, engine-oil consistency. The high 13% alcohol content is masterfully integrated, providing a deep, spirit-like warmth that carries intense aromas of toasted coconut and sweet vanilla. On the palate, a lush base of roasted malts offers notes of bittersweet chocolate and espresso, which are elevated by a persistent, spicy warmth from the cinnamon. The interplay of creamy vanilla and tropical coconut creates a velvety richness, while the bold bitterness inherent to the style provides a necessary counterpoint to the lingering, spice-flecked sweetness of this complex collaboration.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM). Crowning the glass is a thick, dense, dark tan head with moderate retention and heavy, oily lacing indicative of the high alcohol and coconut content.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and charred grain. Bold notes of toasted coconut and sweet vanilla bean dominate the foreground, accented by a distinct, spicy cinnamon bark character and dark fruit esters of raisin and prune.

Taste. Intense flavors of cocoa powder and heavy roast provide a foundation for sweet, creamy vanilla and shredded coconut. The mid-palate features a sharp but pleasant cinnamon spice that cuts through the malt density. Moderate to high bitterness is present but softened by significant residual sweetness. The finish is long and warming with a lingering chocolate-covered coconut and spice aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present throughout, without being sharp or solventy.
