This Imperial Stout offers a decadent, breakfast-inspired experience, weaving together rich specialty ingredients for a complex sensory profile. The base provides a robust foundation of dark chocolate and roasted grain, while distinct aromas of freshly brewed coffee and sweet maple syrup dominate the foreground. Unique additions of savory bacon and fruity banana esters create a playful, multifaceted character. As a milk stout, the presence of lactose adds a velvety, creamy texture that balances the assertive 8% ABV. Expect a harmonious interplay of smoky, sweet, and roasty notes that linger pleasantly, resulting in a bold and indulgent pour.
Appearance.Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). Topped by a dense, persistent deep tan head with excellent lacing and high viscosity visible as legs on the glass.
Aroma.High intensity. Rich roasted malt provides heavy notes of dark chocolate and espresso. Pronounced adjunct aromas of sweet maple syrup and roasted coffee beans. A subtle smoky, savory bacon quality mingles with moderate fruit esters reminiscent of ripe banana. Hop aroma is very low, allowing the complex additives to lead.
Taste.Initial impression is sweet and creamy, followed by a wave of bittersweet chocolate and intense coffee flavors. The mid-palate reveals layers of maple sugar and a light smoky bacon character that provides a savory counterpoint to the lactose sweetness. Faint esters of banana contribute to the complexity. Hop bitterness is moderate but serves mostly to balance the rich malt profile. The finish is lingering and sweet.
Mouthfeel.Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture enhanced by the milk stout base. Carbonation is moderate. A gentle, smooth alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated. High creaminess with no detectable astringency.
