Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Oro Negro

Appearance

Deep black color with a dense, opaque body characteristic of the Imperial Stout style. The head is substantial and persistent, leaving bold rings of lacing down the glass. Minimal light passes through, revealing the beer's full intensity.

opaque blackthick headpersistent lacing

Aroma

Rich and complex on the nose, leading with roasted coffee grounds and dark chocolate undertones. Liqueur-like sweetness emerges with hints of plum and licorice, while subtle oak aging adds depth and sophistication. The alcohol presence is noticeable but well-integrated, warming rather than sharp.

Taste

Full-bodied on entry with immediate roasted malt intensity and bitter coffee character. The mid-palate delivers dark fruit and chocolate complexity alongside creamy sweetness that balances the 60 IBUs of bitterness. The high alcohol (9.1%) is present but absorbed seamlessly into the malt structure, never aggressive.
