Naparbier / Northern Monk Stuck In The Fudge

This Imperial Stout is a decadent collaboration between Naparbier and Northern Monk, crafted as a luxurious winter warmer. The sensory experience begins with an indulgent aroma of artisanal salted caramel and fresh Brazilian cacao, layered over a deep foundation of roasted specialty malts. On the palate, the inclusion of lactose provides a creamy, velvet-like texture that supports intense flavors of bittersweet dark chocolate and fudge. A delicate salinity from the caramel expertly balances the residual sweetness, leading to a lingering, warming finish typical of its high alcohol content. It is a viscous, opaque pour designed for slow sipping during the coldest months.
