Imperial Stout Coco
Brasserie Saint-Germain

Freshly uncorked, immediately a strong toasted note sweetened by toasted coconut.
Poured is black, impenetrable, surmounted by a beige foam, very abundant and soft.
It is a sight to see how the beer rises harmoniously, with the waves crashing on the coastal rocks in the background.
In addition to the toasted, there is also a clearer scent of chocolate and still distinctly coconut.
The foam that remains to act as a "hat" accompanying the beer throughout the drink is very tasty (coffee, licorice reflections).
The body is soft, enveloping, "creamy", anything but aggressive.
The first hints that pervade the palate are of cocoa beans and dark chocolate, with evident notes of toasted malt that refer to coffee.
A delicate and very pleasant taste of coconut emerges in the background that "fades" the aggressive taste of the bitter chocolate and toasted hints of the malts, making the finish of this beer sweet and delicate, which remains drinkable even when, resting in the glass, the sweetness actually it develops quite clearly.
Soft, creamy or rather "creamy" (referring precisely to that sense of softness of whipped cream for example), sweet but absolutely not pasty.
The alcoholic note is well hidden for an 11% beer.
