Moksa Singularity 2 OF19-EC23

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

The nose unfolds with waves of dark molasses, bourbon-soaked vanilla, and bittersweet baker’s chocolate, underscored by toasted oak and dried fig. On the palate, this formidable imperial stout reveals viscous layers of espresso, dark caramel, and treacle, interwoven with nuances of charred wood and brown sugar. The extended barrel aging imparts complex bourbon character without overwhelming the robust malt foundation. The finish is warming and persistent, leaving echoes of dark chocolate ganache, roasted coffee beans, and subtle leather, with oak tannins providing structure to balance the substantial sweetness.

Food Pairing

Pair with dark chocolate torte featuring salted caramel—the beer’s molasses depth and oak tannins complement the dessert’s bitterness while bourbon notes echo the caramel’s richness. Alternatively, serve alongside aged Stilton or Gorgonzola Dolce; the beer’s sweetness and alcohol warmth temper the cheese’s pungency while espresso notes enhance its creamy, savory complexity.
