Imperial Stout 12 º

Sofia Electric Brewing

This Imperial Stout offers a massive sensory experience, opening with an intense surge of bittersweet chocolate and roasted espresso. At 12% ABV, it presents a deep, layered profile where dark malt richness meets velvet-smooth textures. Expect waves of dark fruit—specifically black currants and raisins—weaving through a backdrop of charred grain and toasty maltiness. The addition of chocolate heightens the natural cocoa-like properties of the roasted grains, resulting in a decadent, lingering finish. A gentle, integrated alcohol warmth provides structure to the viscous body, ensuring the complex interplay of burnt sugars and firm bitterness remains harmonious and sophisticated.

Appearance. SRM 40; jet black and completely opaque. A thick, creamy, dark tan head persists well, leaving significant lacing and visible legs upon swirling due to high viscosity.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant aromas of bittersweet chocolate and heavy roast reminiscent of fresh espresso. Moderate esters suggest dried plums and figs. A clean but noticeable alcohol warmth is present, complemented by low earthy hop notes and a hint of caramelized sugar.

Taste. Intense initial impact of dark chocolate and roasted grain. The malt profile is complex, featuring toast, black licorice, and burnt sugar. Moderate to high bitterness balances the residual sweetness. Mid-palate reveals dark fruit esters like raisins. The finish is long and warming with a bittersweet chocolate aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a chewy, luscious, and velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant but smooth alcohol warmth provides a pleasant glow without being harsh or solventy.
