Imperial Muscovado & Vanilla Stout
We made it to 10 years old, so we brewed this big, decadent stout to celebrate. Notes of chocolate, dried fruits and vanilla.

Panda thanks to Wingman . Near opaque dark brown beer, small and short lived bubbly dark tan head. Lots of cocoa on the snoz. Airy smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Slightly thin bodied dark malts. Much cocoa, touch of brown sugar, some mild esters. Not that sweet. Light crisp finish. Inoffensive but really not doing much of anything for me.

Panda at home, thanks to the Wingmane, 27/07/2025.
Pitch black topped with a tan head that thins to a swirl.
Nose is chocolate, dark malts, spice, molasses, faint vanilla, toasted brown sugars.
Taste comprises chocolate shavings, dried fruit rinds, spice, vanilla, molasses, faint tobacco.
Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light rising boost.
Okay sipper but lacks depth and expected more for a 10th birthday celebration.
