7 Years Stout (Cacao, Maple, Coffee, Coconut, Vanilla, Cinnamon & Caramel)
Seven years, seven of our favourite adjuncts. Brewed to mark Vault City's 7th birthday, this decadent imperial stout layers chocolate cacao nibs, maple syrup, coffee, coconut, vanilla, cinnamon, and caramel into something luxuriously smooth and full-bodied. It’s dark, rich, sticky, and the perfect way to celebrate seven sweet years, with many more to come.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 20/01/2026.
Black topped with a khaki cap that thins to a swirl.
Nose is chocolate, dark malts, coffee bean, maple syrup.
Taste comprises espresso martini, dark malts, light roast, chocolate shavings, raisins, brown sugar melt.
Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost.
Fun pastry affair.

Can. Near opaque dark brown beer, small bubbly tan head, doesn't last. Smooth palate, a mild viscosity and commensurate amount of fine carbonation. Overall, feel pretty light for an Impy clocking on at 14%. Smooth and rich dark chocolate malts run seamlessly with dark malt cream. Total adjunct fest! I can taste coconut, caramel, maple, coffee, vanilla and cinnamon. Impressively, no one element totally dominates, rather they are bit part players in the overall movie. If historians ever study this craft beer wave, clearly on the wane now, they would be entitled to point at this brew and describe it as the defining adjunct laden imperial stout. Amusing.

Lots of adjunct. Complex, but on the sweet side

A note to the coconut-averse: I am too, but the other flavours in this are good enough that unless you can't stand even a hint of coconut I think this is worth your time.
