"For the first time in Sucking Stones history, we stepped out of our comfort zone to craft our very first Imperial Stout. To deliver pure excitement and a timeless experience, we chose the ultimate British classic: brewing with fresh oysters. A bold combination of modern passion and historic tradition."
The Flavor & Mouthfeel Profile:
• Velvety Imperial Mouthfeel: Proteins from the fresh oysters create an exceptionally creamy, full-bodied texture with a subtle, comforting alcohol warmth (8.4% ABV)—crafted perfectly for slow, luxurious sipping.
• Subtle Ocean Brine (Umami): A delicate touch of sea-salt minerality from the oysters cuts through the heavy roasted bitterness, adding a perfectly balanced, savory depth that elevates the entire flavor profile.
• Rich Roasted Base: A bold, classic British backbone featuring complex notes of dark espresso, bittersweet chocolate, and dark toasted crust.
• Crisp Dry Finish: Natural minerals from the oyster shells cleanly reduce any cloying sweetness, leaving a surprisingly crisp, sophisticated aftertaste that invites the next sip.
• Zero Fishiness: Absolutely no seafood taste or aroma. The nose opens with rich roasted malts, complemented only by a clean, faint hint of a fresh ocean breeze.
