Torrside Brewing Monsters - Valour
Imperial Stout 7.7 º
Valour is a historically inspired Imperial Stout, drawing from a 1917 recipe to deliver an intense and deeply layered sensory experience. The profile is dominated by rich, roasted malts that offer notes of bittersweet chocolate, black licorice, and espresso. A sophisticated ester profile emerges, reminiscent of dried figs, black currants, and raisins, characteristic of a classic English interpretation. Despite its moderate strength, it maintains a velvety, luscious texture with a warming, bittersweet finish. Subtle earthy hop notes provide a structured bitterness that counters the residual malt sweetness, resulting in a harmonious, complex pour that honors its heritage.
Appearance. Jet black and opaque with a dense, persistent deep tan head that leaves significant lacing. High viscosity is visible through slow-forming legs on the glass.
Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring a rich blend of burnt grain, dark chocolate, and black licorice. Moderate esters contribute notes of prunes and dried figs, complemented by a low earthy hop character and a gentle, integrated alcohol warmth.
Taste. The initial impression is a powerful wave of roast—bittersweet cocoa, tar, and roasted coffee. This is balanced by a medium-full malt sweetness and complex dark fruit flavors like raisins and plums. Hop bitterness is firm and supportive, leading to a moderately dry, lingering finish of roasted malt and subtle warmth.
Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious texture. Carbonation is moderate-low, and a smooth, gentle alcohol warmth is present without being sharp or hot.
