La Calavera's Original Medical Stout is a Catalan Imperial Stout at a full 8.5% ABV, brewed in Sant Joan de les Abadesses near Ripoll. Part of the brewery's playful Black Cross First Aid Kit, it arrives in a bottle styled like a medicine vial—a nod to its tongue-in-cheek name.

This is a full-bodied dark stout built on deep roasted malts and coffee character. At 90 IBUs, the bitterness is assertive yet balanced, never harsh. Medium body and restrained carbonation make it a beer for slow, contemplative sipping rather than quick refreshment.

Aromas lean toward dark fruit, coffee and woody notes. A straightforward, well-crafted Imperial Stout for those who appreciate traditional depth and roast.
