Syroüt

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown hue with an opaque, impenetrable body characteristic of the Imperial Stout style. A dense, mocha-colored head forms and maintains a fine Schaumkleiden around the glass walls. Minimal light penetrates the dense, viscous liquid.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with rich dark chocolate and roasted malt, layered beneath by plum stone and dried fruit notes from the adjunct fruit addition. A subtle spice emerges in the background—the Tellicherry peppercorns provide a gentle warming note without dominating. Deep roasted barley and cocoa powder form the foundational aromatic base.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with full-bodied chocolate and cocoa character, supported by substantial roasted and coffee-forward malt complexity. Mid-palate reveals the plum adjunct as a dark, slightly tart counterpoint to the chocolate sweetness, while peppercorn spice adds gentle bite and structure. The 65 IBU bitterness integrates smoothly rather than aggressively, grounding the rich flavors without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with chocolate and roasted notes lingering on the palate. Residual alcohol heat (12% ABV) manifests as a pleasant boozy warmth that supports rather than dominates the fade.
