Sofia Electric Brewing Balkanuts
Imperial Stout 12 º
This voluptuous Imperial Stout presents an intense sensory experience, defined by the bold addition of peanuts and caramel. The initial impression is dominated by a deep, roasty core of bittersweet chocolate and espresso, which seamlessly integrates with the savory, earthy richness of roasted peanuts. Lush caramel notes provide a decadent sweetness that rounds out the aggressive roast character of the malt. Dark fruit esters of raisin and prune emerge in the mid-palate, supported by a smooth, warming alcohol presence. The finish is long and complex, balancing a lingering nutty depth with charred malt and a soft, velvety texture.
Appearance. Opaque jet black (40 SRM) with a thick, persistent dark tan head. High viscosity is apparent through prominent legs visible on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity. Rich roasted malt scents of dark chocolate and coffee beans are layered with heavy aromas of roasted peanuts and sweet caramel. Subtle esters of dried figs and black currants mix with a clean, warming alcohol note.
Taste. A complex explosion of dark roasted grains and bittersweet cocoa. The peanuts contribute a distinct savory, nutty depth that pairs with a heavy caramel sweetness. Medium-high bitterness is present but well-masked by the dense malt and adjunct sugar. Notes of charred toast and black licorice lead to a lingering, sweet-and-roasty finish.
Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a chewy, luscious, and velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, noticeable alcohol warmth glows in the throat without being sharp or harsh.
