Garage Beer Co R.I.C.C.I.

R.I.C.C.I. is a decadent Imperial Stout that presents a deep, layered sensory experience centered on specialty Guatemalan La Primavera coffee. The complex grist, featuring roast and caramel malts alongside oats, wheat, and rye, establishes a velvety, full-bodied dark chocolate foundation. Fermentation with organic dates imparts a subtle, dark-fruit sweetness that complements the medium-roast coffee’s natural acidity. Aromas of vanilla and rich cocoa lead into a palate defined by espresso, caramelized sugars, and a hint of spicy rye grain. The finish is remarkably long and roasted, carrying a touch of wood-ash and integrated alcohol warmth suited to its significant strength.
