Zombination IV M.A.L.I.
Imperial Stout - 17º
Yria
This massive Imperial Stout delivers a profound sensory experience defined by its maturation in Ardbeg barrels. The aroma is an intense fusion of heavy peat smoke, medicinal iodine, and charcoal, layered over a base of dark chocolate and espresso. On the palate, the 17% ABV manifests as a significant, velvety warmth that carries flavors of rich prunes, black currants, and licorice. The Ardbeg influence provides a lingering salty, smoky finish that complements the deep, roasted malt bitterness. Despite its staggering strength, the mouthfeel remains luscious and chewy, showcasing a complex, vinous character typical of high-gravity Belgian-influenced stouts.
