Our boldest, most extravagant beer to date. Heartwood is the barrel aged evolution of our debut Imperial Stout 'Into the Night', created last year with heavyweights Mikerphone and Factory Brewing. A complex malt malt bill, 10 hour boil and 12 months resting in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels have transformed it into something truly exceptional.
Expect: warm choc chip cookies, sweet tobacco, worn leather and bourbon kick to finish.
Adjuncts: A-Grade Madagascan Vanilla Pods, Toasted Coconut, A blend of washed Colombian & Natural Ethiopian coffee from: Volcano Coffee Works, Brixton, London

440ml can. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of strong bourbon, oak, dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla. Taste is very rich, and pretty sweet, bourbon and oak notes prominent, lots of dark chocolate, coffee, vanilla and caramel, chewy dark malts, some bitter coffee roast stopping it from feeling cloying, warming booze. Full bodied, smooth, slick mouthfeel.
Well this is a huge improvement over Nightfall, although just like in that stout I did not get the toasted coconut at all, but that's forgivable given how damn good this is.

Sweetish, slightly roasty with some barrel, vanilla, cocoa and chocolate sauce, hints of coffee and earthiness. Pretty good
