Laugar / La Virgen Cookie Monster

This monumental Russian Imperial Stout offers an indulgent sensory experience, dominated by its massive 15% ABV and dessert-inspired profile. The aroma is a decadent blend of buttery, toasted cookies and rich vanilla, which meld seamlessly with deep-seated layers of dark chocolate and espresso-like roasted malts. The inclusion of blackcurrant provides a crucial, tart fruit contrast that brightens the otherwise heavy, cocoa-forward character. On the palate, the high alcohol provides a smooth, vinous warmth rather than heat, supporting a velvety texture. It is a complex, harmonious masterpiece where the sweetness of the adjuncts meets the intense bitterness of a traditional Imperial Stout.
