Neon Raptor Brewing Co.: Defeat the Rancor (w/ Emperor's)
This pastry stout (specifically Maple and pecan imperial Danish pastry stout) is/was brewed by Neon Raptor Brewing Co. in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, England. It's achieved an overall score of 94.63%. Based on 1 tasting, the average ABV is 13.00%.
Working with Emperor's, Neon Raptor Brewing Co. has created a strong Imperial Stout honouring the luxurious tastes of a Maple and Pecan Danish dessert. With a strong 13% ABV and a rich and sophisticated drinking experience promised, this unique seasonal offering is incredible. It has full-bodied character and beer pours an impenetrable black with a modest, constant tan foam.
This stout smells like a sweet maple syrup mixed with toasted almonds and candied pecans. Notes of chocolate, caramel and roasted malts give the fragrance complexity - faint traces of vanilla and molasses also round out the olfactory experience. The interaction of these aromas becomes even more noticeable as the beer warms, encouraging the drinker to investigate its complexity.Taste-wise, Defeat The Rancour presents a symphony of tastes worthy of its fragrant promise. The rich, nutty quality of nuts balances the initial sweetness of brown sugar and maple syrup. A strong backbone from layers of chocolate fudge cake, coffee, and roasted malts. Undertones of vanilla and even strawberry marshmallow provide interesting subtleties. The beer keeps a smooth, creamy mouthfeel with a good viscosity despite its high ABV. With the roasted malts' ideal mix of sweetness and subdued bitterness, the aftertaste is long and delicious. A delicious, dessert-like experience, this imperial stout highlights the brewers' ability to produce a nuanced, pastry-inspired beer.
