De Molen / La Pirata Ali & Baba

This Imperial Stout collaboration delivers an imposing sensory presence, balancing massive roasted malts with the unique, savory influence of roasted sesame seeds. The profile opens with intense layers of dark chocolate and espresso, underpinned by a distinct nutty, earthy oiliness from the sesame. At 11.8% ABV, a smooth, integrated alcohol warmth carries notes of dried plums and black currants. The finish is remarkably complex, where the bittersweet charred grain meets a lingering toasted seed character. It is a bold, velvety experience that showcases a harmonious interplay between traditional dark malt depth and innovative adjunct character.
