ABV: 10.5%

IBU: -

Ticks: 3

In celebration of our 1000th brew at our Hogwood Lane home, we decided to clear out the malt store and create something truly one-off and packed with flavour. Twenty one different malts were used to create this unctuous Imperial Stout. It's got notes of molasses, granary bread, toast, coffee, leather and chocolate.

Can from Against The Grain. Dark brown body with a thick tan head. Low carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of prune and Worcestershire sauce. Flavour of umami and caramel. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Fruity and tangy - almost like a barley wine crossed with an imperial stout.
