Fatso Imperial Stout

◎ Appearance

Deep black color with minimal translucency, presenting a dense and opaque body characteristic of the style. A thick, tan head forms with good retention and builds a persistent ring of lacing around the glass as you drink. Carbonation is moderate, creating a creamy visual texture.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bold, roasted malt character—dark grain and bitter cocoa dominate the first impression. Dark stone fruits (plum, raisin) emerge alongside spiced rum notes, with subtle coffee undertones adding complexity. The alcohol presence is warm and integrated, supporting rather than overwhelming the malt-driven bouquet.

◐ Taste

Entry is full-bodied and rich, with roasted malt flavors immediately establishing themselves across the palate. Mid-palate develops layers of dark chocolate, dried fruit, and a subtle spice that recalls the rum-like quality. Bitterness is assertive (79 IBU) but balanced by the malt sweetness, finishing dry without harshness.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and warming, with lingering roasted grain and chocolate notes fading gradually. Alcohol heat becomes more apparent in the aftertaste, lending a pleasant, boozy warmth without burning.
