Imperial

◎ Appearance

Deep mahogany to near-black in color, with dense opacity and fine, persistent carbonation evident at the glass edge. A thick tan head forms and clings well to the sides, displaying excellent lacing throughout the drinking experience.

◌ Aroma

Prominent roasted and smoky notes dominate the nose, with rich coffee and dark chocolate undertones layered beneath. A subtle dried fruit character—particularly raisin—emerges in the background, complementing the malt-forward profile without sharp hop presence.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with bold roasted grain and chocolate flavors, followed by a smooth, malty mid-section with integrated coffee bitterness. Mild residual sweetness from dark fruit lingers, while 33 IBUs provide measured, non-aggressive bitterness that balances rather than dominates.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and lingering, with roasted grain and subtle smoke persisting on the palate. Aftertaste leans toward cocoa and light coffee without sharpness.
