Introducing one of the biggest imperial stouts we have ever done here at Brus. Plato is the unit used in the brewing world to measure sugar content of liquids. This beer started at over 30 plato and finished around 11 plato. The result of all of these numbers is a thick, viscous imperial stout.
Built on a solid layer of danish malt, we then loaded as many flaked oats and and much roasted and caramel malt into our brewhouse as possible. And then just a touch of lactose. It was then fermented and treated with a 50/50 split of toasted and raw cacao nibs, vanilla and wonderful Kenyan espresso coffee from Coffee Collective.

Pours a pitch-black coloration with a small, creamy, mocha-colored head. Smells of slightly roasted, caramel malt, strong vanilla and lighter coffee and chocolate. Taste is a decent balance of slighty roasted, quite caramelly malt, very light bitter and herbal hops, strong vanilla, lighter milk chocolate and even lighter coffee, with just a hint of dark fruit, with notes of raisin and plum also coming through. Finishes rather sweet, with a light bitterness and some vanilla, chocolate and a hint of coffee lingering in the aftertaste. Full mouthfeel with a rich body and light carbonation.
This is a very additive-heavy Stout that suffers from a clear case of "too much vanilla", rendering this rather sweet in combination with the heavily caramelly malt, although it is barely saved from becoming quite too cloying by some light roasted and bitter notes. Nevertheless, the balance could be better here, with the roasted malt and bitter hops really struggling to leave an impression against the caramel malt, vanilla and milk chocolate sweetness, while the coffee could also be more distinct here. Feels very much like a Pastry Stout, unfortunately, although the body and mouthfeel really feel rather full and rich here.
