For our second cross-border collab, we smuggled in loads of carob from Turkey and paired it with chestnuts, roasted nearly to black! These were infused into a 40° Plato Imperial Brown Ale, resulting in a phenomenal stuck lauter that concentrated the flavors even further.
The yeast fought with this monstrous brew, finally fermenting it to 14% ABV before giving up. This collab is a tribute to the deep, roasted, and bittersweet notes that define all intense relationships.

Can courtesy of Kostas Kykao who sent this in a box of beers recently. Consumed at home Saturday 13th September 2025 listening to Sisters of Mercy - Floodland, after a fantastic Minced Beef and Cheese Pie with Curly Kale. Pours dark brown with ruby glints, the head which was possibly brown'ish' lasted only briefly. Thick in the mouth, sweetness is evident from the off, however what is not obvious is that this is 14%, I knew it was strong but not that strong 😳. There are nutty notes, it's intense, warming and yet despite the sweetness there is a bitterness below the surface. This is a grower, like one of those albums you shrug your shoulders at on first listen but then you think, fuck yeah this is a beast of an album, that's this beer. Lovely stuff.
