Our first ever Imperial Stout, from a time before pastry stouts, and when brewers feared to add lactose to something so big! Back in 2015 we broke with the norm by brewing this rich and indulgent stout, with nods to historical Imperial Russian Stouts, but using all our creativity to make this a velvety rich beer, packed black molasses, and tasting of treacle toffee and dark chocolate.

Doesn’t feel boozy, don’t get the treacle unfortunately. Dark fruit, bit of choc and bitterness. Strange

Third in Hippo Taproom. Dark brown, opaque with a thick tan head. Sweet, treacle toffee aroma. Flavour is bitter, sweet, milky coffee to start with, with a sweet toffee finish. The 10% alcohol isn’t evident.

Opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Palate is quite light and semi dry and has a fine minerally crispness. Smooth dark malts, mildly sweet. Bitterish and tangy treacle - toffee. Little soap. Mmm - I wanted this to be a lot of sweeter and not so tangy, but it is a little off the Imperial Stout beaten track.
