executor - imperial stout

Emperor’s Brewery specializes in rich, full-bodied beers crafted with the finest extra ingredients. The brewery offers vibrant porters with a wonderfully chocolatey flavor, complex stouts with diverse facets, barrel-aged beers, and a variety of other delicacies. While Star Wars dominates the design concept and the beers’ names, these are decadent brews that evoke not fear and terror, but rather a sense of dreamy indulgence.

One of these captivating brews is Executor. Living up to its fearsome name with a hefty 12.6% ABV, this beer looks like something out of a fantastic science fiction adventure. Behind the intergalactic backdrop lies a tightly structured Imperial Stout, refined with honey, muscovado sugar, roasted coconut, and Guatemalan coffee.

Executor pours an opaque black from the can, adorned with a delicate, fleeting veil of hazelnut-brown foam. An exquisite aroma of rum-soaked chocolate cake wafts around the nose, whetting the appetite for the first sip. The taste reveals a substantial body with a silky-smooth texture and a rich, full-bodied flavor. Dark roasted malt meets cocoa, milk chocolate, honey, toasted coconut, brown sugar, spicy rum, and creamy caramel. Gentle coffee notes and a fiery hint of alcohol perfectly round out this intense beer experience. The robust sweetness is balanced by a skillfully crafted bitterness.

A real blast!
