◎ Aussehen

Jet black in color with minimal light transmission, this Imperial Stout presents a dense, creamy head that clings persistently to the glass with fine Schaumkleiden. The body is full and opaque, characteristic of roasted grain-forward brewing. Carbonation is restrained, appropriate to the style's weighty character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with prominent roasted barley and dark chocolate notes, complemented by a distinct cappuccino character from the interplay of chocolate and black malts. Beneath lies a subtle earthiness from the Magnum and Willamette hops, with no aggressive hop aromatics—the bouquet remains warm, malty, and inviting.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and vollmundig, with roasted chocolate and coffee flavors dominating the mid-palate. The 45 IBU bitterness is clean and measured, never harsh, allowing the flaked and roasted barley to express itself fully. The malt sweetness swells gently before resolving into a dry, rounded finish without cloying residue.

◑ Abgang

The finish is remarkably clean and composed, with lingering dark chocolate and a subtle malty warmth that fades gradually. No alcoholic heat despite 7% ABV, leaving a refined, satisfying aftertaste.
