La Pirata / Laugar Tovarisch Block

This massive Imperial Stout, a collaboration between La Pirata and Laugar, delivers an intense sensory experience driven by its significant 13% ABV. The profile is anchored by a profound malt complexity, featuring dominant notes of bittersweet chocolate, heavy espresso, and charred grain. Deep layers of dark fruit, specifically dried figs, raisins, and black currants, emerge through the mid-palate, providing a vinous, port-like depth. While the hop character is secondary to the roast, a firm bitterness ensures the rich, velvety body remains balanced. The experience concludes with a long, warming finish that showcases a harmonious blend of dark cocoa and smooth, well-integrated alcohol.
