Ibrik is an imperial stout named for the special pots used in the production of Turkish coffee. This beer brings together light roasted coffee with dark roasted malts to create a beer with a complex malty palate. The use of freshly ground cardamom and Ceylon cinnamon draw further inspiration from Turkish coffee and create subtle spice notes that entwine with the rich character of the beer.

22oz bottle. Poured a dark smooth motor-oil color with a small brown head. Velvety. Aroma was huge coffee notes, roasted chocolate. Super solid coffee character, perhaps overpowering, but the coffee is so good, it really makes its mark on this one. Super solid stuff.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a nice, thick rich brown head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of roasted malt, tons of lactose, milk, cream, earth, grain, raisins, figs and a heavy dose of coffee, naturally. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong roasty flavours with some toast, prunes, raisins, earth, lactose, grain and even a bit of smoked peat in the flavour as well, slightly thin on the finish. Aftertaste shows mostly a deep coffee, cacao (~80%) note with some roasted malts, a touch of the anise bitterness on the end, but more of a deep, bittering flavour that makes this not easy to sample a large format easily, over time. Overall, a decent beer with some good brewed coffee and toasted malt notes with a faint hint of sugars noticeable early on but fade fairly quickly. A bit of peanut butter and grain along with some anise, deep rye and oameal along with canela and a slightly spicy-ier flavour from chiles and perhaps something else added to the mix. I sampled this thirty two ounce crowler at home in Washington, Dominion Wine & Beer in Falls Church, Virginia on 31-January-2018 for US$11,99 sampled at home in Washington, just three days later on 03-February-2018.
