Imperial Stout 12.5 º

WeldWerks Brewing Co.
The Eighth State Brewing Company

This collaboration Barrel Aged Imperial Stout presents a decadent sensory experience, defined by its massive scale and intricate layering. The dark, viscous pour gives way to an aroma dominated by toasted coconut and creamy vanilla, underpinned by the woody depth of barrel aging. On the palate, a lush base of roasted malts provides a canvas for earthy, nutty pistachio notes and a rich, chocolate-forward profile. Despite its high alcohol content, the warmth is seamlessly integrated, leading into a long, bittersweet finish that balances charred oak with the sweetness of the adjuncts. It is a harmonious, velvet-textured Imperial Stout of immense complexity and depth.

Appearance. Jet black and completely opaque (40+ SRM). Crowned by a small, deep tan head with moderate retention. Due to the high viscosity and 12.5% alcohol, thick legs are visible on the glass after swirling.

Aroma. High intensity with a rich blend of toasted coconut, aromatic vanilla bean, and a savory, nutty pistachio character. Behind the adjuncts lies deep roasted malt notes of espresso and dark chocolate, complemented by oaky bourbon and light caramel from the barrel. Very low dark fruit esters (prunes/raisins) are present.

Taste. An intense, complex mix of bittersweet chocolate, fudge, and charred grain. The coconut and vanilla provide a creamy, sweet mid-palate, while the pistachio adds an earthy, savory dimension. Hop bitterness is moderate but balanced by the high residual sugar. The finish is long and warming with lingering notes of oak tannins and roasted malt.

Mouthfeel. Full to very full-bodied with a viscous, chewy, and velvety texture. Carbonation is low to moderate. A smooth, gentle alcohol warmth is prominent but well-integrated, providing a luxurious mouthfeel without being sharp or solventy.
