🌍 Germany · Imperial Stout · One of 76 Imperial Stouts in hopIQ

Nobody's Birthday from Atelier Vrai, based in Heidelbach, Germany, is a masterfully blended barrel-aged Imperial Stout drawing on two distinct base recipes. Half the blend spent 28 months in Kentucky bourbon barrels on an English malt foundation, while the other half aged 30 months in MGP Indiana bourbon barrels built on a German malt base — together reaching 12.1% ABV. This brooding Hessian creation pours a deep, opaque black with a thin mocha-tinted collar. The aroma opens with rich waves of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and charred oak, underpinned by warm vanilla and caramel drawn from the bourbon wood. On the palate, bittersweet cocoa, dried dark fruit, and toasted malt unfold with an impressive creamy body. The finish is long, smoky, and gently sweet, leaving lingering notes of toffee and espresso.
