Espiga Black Cel Ona Imperial Stout Brandy Barrel Aged

This Imperial Stout presents a commanding sensory profile, pouring jet black with an inviting depth born from six months in brandy barrels. The foundation of Pale Ale and Caramunich malts delivers a complex base of espresso and bittersweet dark chocolate. On the nose, intense roasted aromas mingle with the sophisticated influence of the brandy-soaked wood, offering notes of vanilla and dried fruit. The palate reveals a robust bitterness driven by Galena and Cascade hops, which balances the rich, malty sweetness. Each sip concludes with a lingering warmth and a refined oak tannin finish, showcasing a masterfully integrated high-gravity character.
