Para una colaboración con nuestros amiguetes de Cloudwater, queríamos dejarlo todo en la cancha. Cosmic & Monumental es una Imperial Stout trascendental, ligeramente ahumada y con unos poderosos 12.5 graditos, que logra el equilibrio perfecto entre maltas tostadas, intensas notas de chocolate oscuro y un sutil toque de humo que aporta profundidad sin empalagar.

dark brown to almost black, brown head.
mild roasted malty aroma, faint cola nut, faint coconut, very slightly salty.
flavor is dominated by english licorice, slighlty slaty english licorice, on top of that, roasted malty bitterness, faint coconut, a faint alc. burn, hops almost not noticeable, but probably adding depth and character without you noticing. At 12.5% it holds its alc well and does not come off as boozy. if anything it may be seen as slighlty peppery but in general, generous use of ingredients create enough flavor to cover the alc. i think i get a bit of wood also, perhaps the beer has been treated with wood chips - it's not your usual wood barrel feel.

440ml. Opaque colour, small beige head. Sweetish licorice, hardcandy aroma. Medium-bodied. Roasted but sweetish flavour where licorice candy flavours dominate. It is mix of hard licorice candies and cough syrup. Hides ABV, a bit light even for its percent. Different. Kinda liked it.

Sample draft @ El Birrot.
Brune foncée, léger filament doré et huileux au verre, col fin blanc-cassé.
Arôme est chargé sur le chocolaté avec une petite touche rappelant la fumé - effet céréales en rétro-nasal. Bon gros RIS américain sans les ajouts. Equilibre d'un mono-houblon qui balance tout cela.
Palais est épais sur les malts, profond chocolaté avec ce caractère classique de gros RIS tout en ayant un léger côté belge dans un apport léger d'ester de banane. Assez huileux e tépais en bouche, avec un support houblonné fleuri en retraut - petite note de fleur champêtre voire mielleux douceur en fin de bouche oscillant sur le bubble-gum.
