Side Project Brewing Parfait (Blend #7)
Imperial Stout 12 º
This decadent Imperial Stout offers a masterclass in complexity, blending the earthy richness of Black Truffles with the savory depth of Peanut Flour and Roasted Unsalted Virginia Peanuts. The base, a marriage of barrel-aged and stainless-fermented beer, provides a robust canvas for intense Cocoa Nibs. A luxurious sweetness is driven by a duo of Ugandan and Tahitian Vanilla, lending layers of floral creaminess and marshmallow-like aromatics. The dark malt profile brings notes of bittersweet chocolate and espresso, while the peanuts provide an oily, nutty finish. It is a harmonious, high-gravity expression that balances savory umami with indulgent dessert-like qualities.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque with significant viscosity. A dense, mocha-colored head shows moderate retention, leaving thick, oily legs on the glass as the 12% alcohol warmth manifests.
Aroma. High intensity and deeply layered. Bold aromas of roasted peanuts and earthy, savory Black Truffles lead, followed by rich bittersweet chocolate from Cocoa Nibs. The Ugandan and Tahitian Vanilla provide a fragrant, floral, and creamy sweetness. Subtle dark fruit esters of prune and fig mingle with toasted oak and a hint of spirituous warmth.
Taste. An initial wave of rich chocolate and nutty roasted peanuts transitions into a complex, savory middle featuring the unique umami of Black Truffles. The sweetness of Ugandan and Tahitian Vanilla is prominent but balanced by the roast of the Imperial Stout base. Hop bitterness is moderate, primarily providing structure against the dense malt. The finish is long and lingering, featuring notes of fudge, leather, and oak.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and exceptionally viscous, possessing a chewy, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the luxurious feel without being sharp or hot.
