Troon Brewing Stargate Sequence | Imperial Coffee Stout 12%

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

4.4Untappd

Stargate Sequence pours an impenetrable, jet-black hue with a dense, mocha-toned head that clings to the glass with impressive retention, leaving lacy rings of tan foam on the way down. On the nose, the adjunct bill announces itself immediately: rich, freshly roasted coffee from Rojos Roastery leads the charge, intertwined with creamy untoasted coconut, lush East Hemisphere vanilla bean, dark bittersweet chocolate, and a whisper of roasted grain earthiness. The palate is opulent and full-bodied, with a velvety, almost chewy mouthfeel that speaks to Troon’s signature high-ABV imperial foundation. Sweetness is generous but never cloying — the vanilla and coconut provide a tropical creaminess that is beautifully counterbalanced by the assertive bitterness of the double-dosed coffee roast.

Mid-palate brings waves of chocolate truffle and espresso, while the 12% ABV integrates seamlessly, adding warmth rather than heat. The finish is long, dry, and roasty, with a lingering vanilla and coconut fade that invites the next sip. Drinkability is remarkably high for the style; equally compelling as a cellar candidate, where the coconut and vanilla character will mellow and integrate over 12–24 months.

Food Pairing

Troon Stargate Sequence imperial coffee stout pairs magnificently with a dark-chocolate fondant or a molten lava cake — the roasted coffee and coconut notes mirror the cocoa intensity while the vanilla lifts the dessert’s richness. Equally compelling alongside a platter of aged Comté and salted caramel, where the stout’s 12% body and creamy adjunct profile create a striking contrast against the nuttiness of the cheese.
