Imperial Stout 10 º

Vocation Brewery

This Imperial Stout is a decadent, dessert-forward experience that captures the essence of a Southern pecan pie. At 10% ABV, it offers a significant brown liquor warmth that integrates seamlessly with a treacly, deep malt base. The sensory profile is dominated by rich, maple-candied roast pecans, providing a distinct nuttiness and caramelized depth. Dark chocolate and espresso roast notes from the malt bill provide a bittersweet backbone, which is smoothed out by a silky, sticky maple sweetness. It maintains a complex, harmonious balance between the intense pastry-inspired adjuncts and the traditional robust character of a strong stout.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40 SRM). Pours with a dense, dark tan head with moderate retention, exhibiting high viscosity with visible legs on the glass.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of bittersweet chocolate, espresso, and dark-roasted malts. Prominent sweet maple syrup and toasted pecan nuttiness are front and center, supported by low dark fruit esters of prunes and raisins and a noticeable, smooth alcohol warmth.

Taste. Intensely flavorful with an initial impression of sweet maple and caramelized nuts. The malt profile provides deep layers of cocoa, molasses, and toasted bread. Moderate bitterness provides a necessary counterpoint to the treacly sweetness, leading to a lingering, bittersweet finish of roasted grain and maple candy.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and chewy with a velvety, luscious, and coating texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A significant, smooth alcohol warmth is present, enhancing the rich, sticky character without being sharp.
