Uncommon Path Brewing Back To Basics
This massive Russian Imperial Stout commands attention with an opaque, jet-black presence and a complex sensory profile driven by its 13.8% ABV. The foundation of deep roasted malts yields intense notes of bittersweet chocolate and espresso, which are seamlessly integrated with the aromatic luxury of Tahitian vanilla. Toasted peanuts add a savory, nutty depth that balances the beer’s inherent sweetness. Expect a decadent, velvety experience where the high alcohol provides a smooth, lingering warmth, bridging the gap between charred grain bitterness and the plush, dessert-like contributions of the specialty adjuncts.
Appearance. Jet black and fully opaque (40 SRM). Pours with a thick, creamy, deep tan head that shows moderate retention. Distinct legs are visible on the glass, reflecting high viscosity and alcohol content.
Aroma. High intensity aroma featuring prominent bittersweet chocolate and roasted coffee. The addition of Tahitian vanilla provides a floral, marshmallow-like sweetness, while toasted peanuts contribute a rich, savory nuttiness. Underlying esters of dried figs and raisins meld with a noticeable but smooth alcohol presence.
Taste. Bold initial impression of dark chocolate and heavily roasted grain. The palate is enriched by the distinct flavor of toasted peanuts and the creamy, rounded sweetness of Tahitian vanilla. Moderate-high bitterness from roasted malts and hops is well-balanced by a dense malt backbone. The finish is long and complex, evolving from roasty bitterness to a lingering, warm, and slightly sweet aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Very full-bodied and chewy with a luscious, velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, enhancing the beer's richness. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present throughout, without being sharp or solventy.
