Garage Beer Co / Finback Muted Sophisticated

Muted Sophisticated is a decadent collaboration between Garage Beer Co and Finback Brewery, pushing the boundaries of the Imperial Stout style. This luscious pastry-inspired interpretation utilizes a double mash of seven distinct malts to prioritize a rich mid-range over aggressive char. The sensory experience is dominated by indulgent layers of milk chocolate, buttery caramel, and toasted biscuit. The addition of cacao nibs and a touch of salt enhances the depth, creating a velvety, dessert-like profile. Expect a soft roast character that supports the sweetness rather than overwhelming it, culminating in a warming, full-bodied sipper that balances its 12% ABV with a smooth, sophisticated finish.
