ABV: 11.0%

IBU: -

Ticks: 4

Brewed as part of our Singularity Series special release, Makkuro is our first ever imperial stout brewed without adjuncts. We've made stouts with cacao, coconut, vanilla, blueberry, ginger - all sorts. Whenever we did, there was a little voice saying "but it's so delicious as it is, why not just leave it?" So this time we've listened to that voice and created a deliciously drinkable imperial stout using nothing but the finest malts we could get our hands on. Not a doughnut in sight.

Good stuff. Nice toothy big stout. Iodine, earth, roast, burnt malts, cocoa. Full bodied. Bittersweet finish. Sound.

440ml can. Pours almost black with a tan head. Aroma of dark malts, dark chocolate, treacle, liquorice. Taste is rich and malty, dark chocolate, treacle, caramel, liquorice, some dark fruit, roast malts/coffee bitterness and a boozy warming finish. Full bodied, smooth. Excellent straight up impy.
The fact it took them 7 years to brew one without adjuncts is outrageous, especially considering this is actually really good - they weren't hiding behind adjuncts masking bad flavour profiles.
