Russian Imperial Stout Barrel 5 from KONIX Brewery
Bitterness 40, alcohol content 14.1% (not bad at all)
After Stout Barrel Wine, I tend to trust Konix, at least when it comes to stout.
Perfectly balanced, very dense and strong – but this strength does not have any negative impact on drinkability and aroma.
Nose: dried fruits (raisins, figs, prunes), coffee, chocolate, caramel, possibly almonds, a little hops.
Taste: very easy to drink, candied fruits, cashews, chocolate, malt slightly prevails over hops.
Finish: reminiscent of wine, with fermentation aromas. Caramel, nuts, and fruit are complemented by a light creaminess.
Excellent stout, even better than Barrel Wine – as far as I remember, that one was too dry. You can spend a long time exploring it, searching for new taste and aromatic notes, but honestly, I didn't feel like doing that – it’s just too delicious and easy to drink; there isn't much room for analysis here. 9/10, highly recommend. Probably, I won't buy stouts from other breweries anymore, except for Konix and Victory Art Brew.
