Expert description of The Piggy Brewing Co VIP Saloon Imperial Stout Coconut Noisette Bourbon
VIP Saloon is a decadent, barrel-tinged Imperial Stout at 12% from the French brewery The Piggy Brewing Company in Liverdun. The beer is part of the brewery's exclusive VIP series, focused on lavish flavour profiles and luxurious ingredients. Here coconut, hazelnut and bourbon drive the show, brewed with specialty malts, coconut flakes and hazelnut extract with a distinct bourbon infusion.
The colour is jet-black with a dense, dark-brown head, and the aroma offers roasted malt, coconut, hazelnut, bourbon and dark chocolate. The flavour is full-bodied and sweet with layers of praline, coconut cream, roasted coffee and bourbon vanilla, while the mouthfeel is silky and oily with low carbonation and an almost liqueur-like texture.
VIP Saloon is unfiltered and perfect for slow sipping by the fireplace as a dessert beer, ideally at 12-16°C in a snifter glass.
