Black Eyed King Imp returns in this Vietnamese coffee edition of an epic barrel-aged imperial stout.
Oh. And this is the world's strongest ever canned beer.
At 12.7% ABV, Black Eyed King Imp is a super intense and twistedly complex brew, with intense notes of sweet vanilla, rich espresso, smooth molasses and bitter chocolate barely contained by the metal wrapped around it. We've ransacked the barrel store to blend some of our favourite aromas and flavour infusions into this massive monster of a beery beast!
Malts: Black , Chocolate, Dark Crystal, Extra Pale, Roasted Barley, Smoked, Wheat
Hops: Cascade, Columbus

RB backlog. Strong coffee notes, dark chocolate, a bit dusty, roasted carrots. Strong sweetness starts a tour de force with lots of berries and light sourness and bitter dark chocolate notes. Full oily body with natural carbonation.

Pours black with a very nice sheen of espresso-like head. Looks perfect. Aroma is complex and with a lot of dark malts. A lot of strong coffee, vanilla, spices in general, caramel, plums, figs, amarena cherries, chili, quite some oak. Beautiful and complex. Big body. Smooth and oily mouthfeel. Flavours are also rich and equally complex. Rich but only medium sweet, a lot of intense coffee, vanilla, bourbon and spices once more, chocolate, cherries, plums, a lot of toffee, tad of a bitter amaretto note. Very good Imperial stout. Finishes long and warming, with coffee and chocolate notes. Really amazing beer.

Can courtesy of Jacob. Black pour with a creamy mocha head. Roasty fine coffee nose with plenty of dried berries & minerals. Roasted malts, chocolate & raisins. Sweet, bitter, malty & roasty taste. Light smoke & high mineralty. Soft, velvety, round & astringent mouthfeel. Nice beer! Nice coffee character.
