Sweet Stout 13.7 º

The Bruery

This decadent imperial milk stout envelops the senses in a luxurious cloak of rich milk chocolate, sweet cream, and charred oak. Intense aromas of Madagascar vanilla beans and toasted coconut mingle with deep espresso and dark fruit notes. On the palate, the immense sweetness of milk sugar is beautifully countered by robust roasted malts and a warming wave of bourbon, caramel, and vanilla from extended barrel aging. Incredibly viscous and velvety, it finishes with a long, comforting warmth and a lingering dessert-like sweetness, exemplifying the indulgent, big-beer craftsmanship of The Bruery.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque. It pours with a dense, dark tan head that exhibits moderate retention, leaving a thick collar. Extremely high viscosity is visible as slow-moving legs along the glass.

Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring a prominent layer of Madagascar vanilla beans, rich milk chocolate, and sweet cream. Behind this dessert-like sweetness lies a complex background of espresso, roasted malts, toasted oak, dark cherries, and a clean, warming bourbon alcohol presence.

Taste. An indulgent initial impression of chocolate fudge and vanilla glaze, followed by sweet lactose creaminess. Bold flavors of roasted coffee and dark chocolate provide contrast, supported by bourbon-soaked oak, caramel, and marshmallow. Bitterness is low to moderate, serving to keep the sweet, luscious finish from becoming cloying. The aftertaste lingers with vanilla, sweet bourbon warmth, and dark malt.

Mouthfeel. Full, thick, and chewy body with a velvety, luscious, and coating texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A distinct, smooth, and well-integrated alcohol warmth is present, reflecting its high gravity without any harshness or fusel burn.
