Side Project Brewing 10+10
Imperial Stout 15 º
This monumental Imperial Stout presents a decadent sensory experience, merging the robust textures of Side Project and Other Half. The 15% ABV base is transformed by extended aging in Bourbon and Rum barrels, imparting deep notes of toasted oak, molasses, and spicy spirit. An infusion of Cloud Cover Coffee adds layers of freshly roasted espresso and dark cocoa, while roasted Hazelnuts provide a rich, nutty depth. Vanilla Beans soften the intense roast, lending a creamy, marshmallow-like sweetness. The result is a viscous, complex masterpiece that balances spirituous warmth with dark fruit esters and a lingering, bittersweet finish.
Appearance. Opaque, midnight black with a dense, dark tan head that recedes to a thick collar. High viscosity is evident through heavy legs or tears on the glass after swirling.
Aroma. Intense and layered; initial waves of dark chocolate and Cloud Cover Coffee dominate, followed by rich Bourbon oak and spicy Rum notes. Toasted Hazelnuts and sweet Vanilla Beans provide a dessert-like aromatic core, accented by underlying dark fruit esters of prune and black cherry.
Taste. Massive and complex. A bold initial impression of bittersweet chocolate and espresso gives way to the buttery, nutty character of Hazelnuts. The barrel influence is prominent, offering caramel, charred oak, and a hint of molasses. Vanilla Beans round out the mid-palate, leading to a finish that balances firm roasted bitterness with lingering spirituous warmth and a touch of dark fruit.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally viscous with a chewy, velvety texture. Carbonation is low, enhancing the creamy mouthfeel. A significant but smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the high ABV without being sharp or solventy.
