La Pirata Black Block Bourbon Barrel Aged
Imperial Stout - 13º - 70 IBU
La Pirata Brewing
This twelve-month barrel-matured Imperial Stout presents an opulent sensory experience, where the base beer’s raw power is tempered by extended rest in charred oak. Intense aromas of dark cocoa and seasoned wood lead into a palate defined by luxurious layers of vanilla and bittersweet chocolate. The bourbon influence is unmistakable, offering notes of rich caramel and toasted coconut that intertwine with a robust roasted malt profile reminiscent of espresso. At 13% alcohol, a deep, soul-warming heat is present but elegantly integrated, finishing with a lingering, slightly vinous complexity. It is a dense, viscous masterpiece of patience and depth.
