Imperial Stout 9.5 º 48 IBU

Sori Brewing
Brouwerij Kees

This Imperial Stout is a decadent, dessert-inspired collaboration between Sori and Kees, evoking the richness of a Parisian date night. A deep, jet-black pour yields intense aromas of dark chocolate and roasted coffee, intricately layered with the sweet, sticky character of dates and the creamy, tropical allure of coconut. Tonka beans introduce a complex spice profile reminiscent of vanilla, almond, and cinnamon, perfectly complementing the robust malt backbone. On the palate, a velvety sweetness balances the firm roasted bitterness, finishing with a lingering, smooth alcohol warmth. It is a harmonious, full-bodied experience that captures the essence of a luxurious, liquid confection.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (SRM 40). Pours with a thick, dense, dark tan head with moderate retention. High viscosity is apparent through visible legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of roasted coffee, bittersweet chocolate, and black licorice. Strong esters of dried fruit, particularly dates. Distinctive notes of toasted coconut and the vanilla-almond-cinnamon character of tonka beans. Subtle, clean alcohol presence.

Taste. A complex mix of rich cocoa and deeply roasted grain. Initial sweetness from the dates and specialty malts is balanced by a moderate to firm bitterness. Toasted coconut adds a nutty creaminess, while the tonka beans provide a spiced, dessert-like complexity. The finish is lingering and sweet with a harmonious blend of roast and dark fruit.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. Noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth provides a gentle background glow without being sharp.
