Imperial Stout 12 º

Soma Beer

This powerful Imperial Stout-based offering showcases a sophisticated integration of NOMAD Coffee, yielding a sensory profile defined by depth and intensity. The aroma is immediately striking, featuring freshly ground espresso and dark cacao, supported by the rich, bready sweetness of heavy roasted malts. On the palate, the coffee provides a bright, nuanced acidity that elevates the dense, velvety body, revealing complex layers of molasses, charred oak, and dark stone fruits. At 12% ABV, the alcohol is presented as a smooth, well-integrated warmth that stretches into a lingering finish of bitter cocoa and earthy spice, balancing decadence with roast-driven structure.

Appearance. Opaque, deep ebony to jet black (40+ SRM). Thick, persistent mocha-colored head with dense foam and excellent lacing.

Aroma. High intensity with a pronounced roasted coffee character reminiscent of espresso and dark chocolate. Strong malt presence featuring caramel, molasses, and deeply toasted bread. Low earthy hop aroma; subtle dark fruit esters like dried plum or raisin are present. Clean fermentation profile.

Taste. Initial impression is rich and syrupy, led by intense roasted coffee and dark chocolate flavors. Mid-palate introduces burnt sugar, licorice, and dried fruit complexity. Bitterness is moderate-high, derived from both hops and roasted grains, providing balance to the residual malt sweetness. The finish is long and warming with a clean, lingering roasted cocoa aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a creamy, velvety texture. Moderate-low carbonation. Significant alcohol warmth that is smooth and well-integrated. Low astringency despite the high concentration of roasted specialty malts and coffee.
