Stout 11 º

The Answer
Ingenious Brewing Company

This indulgent American Stout presents a decadent sensory profile inspired by a confectionary box. Intense aromas of toasted coconut and buttery macadamia nuts meld with a sharp, spicy dusting of cinnamon over a deeply roasted malt base. The 11% ABV provides a significant, smooth warmth that carries flavors of bittersweet chocolate, roasted coffee beans, and rich vanilla cake. While maintaining the aggressive roast and firm bitterness characteristic of the style, the addition of dessert-like adjuncts creates a luxurious, dessert-forward complexity. The finish is long and lingering, balancing charred malt notes against a persistent, cake-like sweetness.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque. Pours with a thick, persistent, deep tan head that leaves moderate lacing on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity. Dominant roasted chocolate and espresso notes are layered with sweet, shredded coconut and the rich, oily scent of macadamia nuts. A distinct cinnamon spiciness provides a warm counterpoint to the sugary, cake-like malt esters.

Taste. Initial impression is an explosion of sweet pastry and dark fruit, quickly followed by heavy roasted malt flavors of dark chocolate and charred coffee. The macadamia nuts lend a buttery richness, while the cinnamon adds a spicy prickle. Medium-high bitterness is present but tempered by the high residual sugar. The finish is sweet and decadent with a lightly burnt, cocoa-powder aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a noticeably creamy, coating texture. Carbonation is medium-high. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present, reflecting the high gravity without being harsh or fusel.
