Lost Souls

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to opaque black, with a fine tan head that settles into lasting rings of lacing along the glass. The body is fully opaque; low carbonation is evident in the restrained fizz and dense, creamy foam architecture. A hallmark of traditional Imperial Stout presence.

◌ Aroma

Roasted dark malt dominates the nose—cocoa, black bread, and charred grain—layered beneath a distinct vanilla sweetness that rises as the beer warms. Subtle herbal and resinous notes from Titan and Green Bullet emerge in the background, grounding the aromatics. A whisper of dark fruit and molasses rounds the profile.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and warming on entry, with chocolate and caramel malt flavors building into a complex mid-palate. Vanilla presence is luscious but balanced, not cloying; it mingles with dark grain and subtle sugar notes. Bitterness arrives as a measured 60 IBU contribution, offering structure without overwhelming the malt complexity.

◑ Finish

Long, slow fade with lingering warmth from the 11% ABV. Dark malt dryness persists alongside faint vanilla echoes and a gentle herbal drying from the hop bill.
