Bountii

Tap to rate

A dark stout brewed with coconut, cocoa nibs and vanilla over a chocolate malt base. It pours close to black beneath a tan head. The aroma runs to toasted coconut and dark chocolate, with vanilla and a light roast bitterness behind them. The body is full and sweet without turning syrupy, and the finish carries cocoa alongside a dry, faintly nutty coconut note that lingers.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with toasted coconut and dark chocolate, supported by cocoa nibs and vanilla that emerge in the mid-register. A subtle roast bitterness and light char undertone provide structure without dominating. The aromatic profile remains cohesive, with the adjuncts integrating fully into the chocolate malt foundation.

◐ Taste

Entry is full and sweet, driven by the chocolate malt base and vanilla character without becoming cloying. Mid-palate develops cocoa nibs and toasted coconut against the rich, complete body. Bitterness emerges gradually, dry and measured, balancing the sweetness without harsh edges; 8.5% ABV remains integrated and supportive rather than prominent.

◑ Finish

The finish carries cocoa alongside a dry, faintly nutty coconut note that persists on the palate. Sweetness recedes in favor of roasted and coconut dryness, creating a lingering, composed aftertaste.

About Imperial Stout

Style guide · what to expect · how to find alternatives

What is a Imperial Stout?

Stouts are dark ales with roasted barley character, 4–8% ABV and IBU 25–45. Expect coffee, dark chocolate and toast flavors with a creamy body and dry finish.
