Duncan's Umbra Imperial Stout

Description

Duncans Umbra Imperial Stout is a captivating offering from the talented brewers at Duncan's Brewing in Nelson, New Zealand. This stout is a true testament to the art of brewing, showcasing a remarkable depth of flavors and a velvety smooth texture. The beer pours a deep, obsidian black, with a velvety mocha-colored head that slowly dissipates, hinting at the rich and complex experience to come. The aroma is intensely roasted, with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, roasted marshmallows, and subtle hints of vanilla and cocoa, enticing the senses. On the palate, the Umbra Imperial Stout delivers a truly remarkable flavor profile. The rich and full-bodied character is a tapestry of roasted barley, imparting notes of burnt sugar, coffee grounds, and dark chocolate. As the beer opens up, subtle nuances emerge, including ripe blackberries, dried figs, and a touch of molasses. The bitterness from the hops provides a perfect balance, accentuating the roasted character and creating a smooth, creamy mouthfeel that coats the palate. The finish lingers with a roasted bitterness that gradually gives way to a subtle sweetness and hints of dark fruit, leaving you craving another sip.
