Imperial Stout 8.7 º 65 IBU

Stone Brewing

Stone Americano Stout presents an assertive sensory profile defined by a robust infusion of artisanal espresso beans. Dark malt complexity provides a backdrop of charred grain and bittersweet chocolate, while a significant addition of Columbus and Chinook hops introduces resinous pine, which is complemented by the sharp citrus cues of Amarillo and Cascade. This high-gravity Americano Stout balances the intense, roasted acidity of the coffee with a firm bitterness typical of the brewery's style. The interplay between the deep, earthy espresso and the bright, zesty hop oils creates a layered experience, finishing with a lingering, roasted dryness and a clean, warming alcoholic presence.

Appearance. Jet black and opaque (40+ SRM) with a thick, persistent, mocha-colored head that leaves dense lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity of freshly pulled espresso and dark roasted coffee beans. Strong American hop character follows, featuring grapefruit, resinous pine, and floral notes. Secondary layers of dark chocolate, burnt toast, and a clean, warming alcohol presence.

Taste. Initial impact of rich, acidic espresso and dark chocolate. The mid-palate reveals resinous pine and spicy hop bitterness from the Columbus and Chinook additions, balanced by citrus notes of grapefruit and orange from Amarillo and Cascade. High bitterness is well-integrated with the roasted malt. Finishes very dry and long with a lingering coffee-bean roastiness and hop resin.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a velvety, creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate. A noticeable but smooth alcohol warmth is present, accompanied by a slight, pleasant coffee-derived astringency that enhances the dry finish.
