This Imperial Stout presents an intense, uncompromising sensory profile where deep malt complexity takes center stage. A dense, velvet-black pour releases high-intensity aromas of freshly roasted espresso and bittersweet chocolate. The palate is dominated by layers of dark cocoa and creamy milk chocolate, balanced by the presence of rich dark fruits like plum and raisin. Subtle savory notes of soy sauce and burnt caramel provide a sophisticated depth, reflecting the yeast’s contribution to this non-adjunct brew. Bold and warming at 10% ABV, it concludes with a lingering, bittersweet finish that showcases a harmonious balance between roasted grains and well-integrated alcohol.
Appearance.Jet black and completely opaque (40 SRM). Pours with a thick, persistent deep tan head that leaves significant lacing on the glass. High viscosity is evident with slow-moving legs after swirling.
Aroma.High intensity. Prominent roasted malt character featuring heavy coffee, dark chocolate, and roasted cocoa beans. Moderate esters suggest dark fruits like prunes and figs. A hint of savory soy and rich caramel sweetness balances the aggressive roast. Clean fermentation with a smooth, well-integrated alcohol presence.
Taste.Bold initial impression of dark-roasted grains and espresso. Rich malt flavors of dark and milk chocolate are supported by a background of burnt caramel. Mid-palate introduces complex dark fruit notes and a faint umami hint of soy sauce. Bitterness is firm and moderately high, balancing the residual malt sweetness. The finish is long and bittersweet with a lingering roastiness.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied, thick, and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the beer's richness. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth that is well-integrated into the body; no astringency or harshness.
