La Pirata / Kees Nutcase

This decadent Imperial Stout, a collaboration between La Pirata and Kees, presents an indulgent sensory profile centered on rich adjunct integration. The experience is dominated by intense natural hazelnut aromas that harmonize with deep layers of cacao and buttery toffee. Dark roasted malts provide a robust foundation of bittersweet chocolate and coffee-like char, which balances the beer's inherent sweetness. At 9% ABV, the alcohol is well-integrated, offering a smooth, background warmth. The result is a complex, dessert-like profile where the nutty sweetness of the hazelnut and the richness of the toffee linger long into a velvety, luscious finish.
