Imperial Stout 12.5 º

Soma Beer

This Imperial Stout presents a decadent sensory experience centered on a massive addition of Trincheras cacao from Venezuela. At a potent 12.5% ABV, it radiates aromas of high-quality dark chocolate, scorched espresso, and dried figs. The palate is defined by an intricate interplay of bittersweet cocoa and deep roasted malts, providing layers of black licorice and toasted bread. Its velvety, viscous texture coats the tongue, supported by a firm bitterness that balances the residual sweetness. A smooth, integrated alcohol warmth emerges in the finish alongside a lingering essence of raw cacao, making for a sophisticated and harmonious dessert-leaning stout.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (SRM 40+). It pours with a thick, deep tan head that shows moderate retention, leaving oily legs on the glass as the high alcohol and viscosity become apparent.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich, complex blend of bittersweet dark chocolate and raw cocoa from the Trincheras beans. Significant roasted malt notes of espresso and burnt grain are complemented by moderate esters of raisins and prunes. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, with very low earthy hop character.

Taste. Intense initial impression of dark chocolate and espresso. The malt profile is deep and complex, featuring layers of toast, caramel, and black licorice. Hop bitterness is firm, providing necessary balance to the rich, decadent maltiness. The finish is moderately sweet and lingering, with a final aftertaste of roasted grain and warming alcohol.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied, thick, and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated, avoiding any harshness or solvent qualities.
