Tap to rate

Apple and cinnamon lead, with black cherry fruit leather, chocolate licorice and deep dark chocolate beneath and a slight finish of Madagascar vanilla. Uakari is a 13.2% imperial stout aged in apple brandy, Amburana and bourbon barrels, the brewery's first beer with Amburana, a South American wood, and it carries a big puff of mouthfeel.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Uakari

◎ Appearance

Deep black with a burgundy rim when held to light, opaque and impenetrable. A tan head forms with good initial retention and lacing persistence. Carbonation appears restrained, appropriate for the high alcohol and rich character.

◌ Aroma

Apple and cinnamon emerge first, bright and inviting against the darker base. Beneath lie black cherry fruit leather and chocolate licorice, with underlying roasted grain and subtle oak influence from the triple barrel aging. Madagascar vanilla threads through the nose with a faint boozy warmth.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with dark chocolate and roasted malt, building into substantial richness. Mid-palate deepens with black cherry, spice, and the woody complexity of Amburana and bourbon, balanced by restrained bitterness at 65 IBU. The alcohol sits integrated but present, adding warmth and fullness to the body.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and smooth, with lingering dark chocolate and vanilla notes fading gradually. A gentle drying sensation from oak and bitterness remains on the palate without harshness.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.
