Velvet Spoon

◎ Aussehen

Deep black-brown hue with an opaque, impenetrable body that catches light at the rim with mahogany tones. A dense, tan head settles into fine lacing that clings to the glass. Carbonation is restrained, befitting the rich imperial stout character.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with dark chocolate and espresso, underscored by caramelized malt sweetness. Vanilla and cocoa nibs layer in subtly, creating a dessert-like aromatics reminiscent of tiramisu. Roasted grain backbone provides earthy depth without harsh edges.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is smooth and velvety, with chocolate and roasted coffee dominating the mid-palate. Caramel sweetness and cocoa nib bitterness integrate seamlessly, while vanilla notes add a gentle confectionery dimension. The 65 IBU provides measured bitterness that balances without overwhelming the dessert-forward profile.

◑ Abgang

The finish is long and warming, with roasted coffee and cocoa lingering alongside a subtle alcoholic warmth at 11.1% ABV. Sweetness fades gracefully, leaving a clean, slightly dry aftertaste.
