La Pirata Brewing Black Block Pedro Ximenez

This Imperial Stout is a decadent sensory experience, transformed by twenty-four months of maturation in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks. The result is a jet-black pour that radiates intense aromas of dark chocolate, espresso, and the unmistakable vinous influence of the Spanish fortified wine. Rich layers of sticky figs, sun-dried raisins, and molasses from the casks meld seamlessly with the base beer’s deeply roasted malt core. At 12% ABV, it offers a sophisticated, well-integrated warmth. Expect a luscious, velvety mouthfeel with a lingering finish of dark fruit and cocoa, showcasing the complex harmony achieved through such extended, patient barrel aging.
