The beer is an 11.5% Imperial Brown Ale which we have aged in amazing Spanish sweet red barrels from Malaga. Stewart Bowman, our Head Brewer, devised an Imperial Brown Ale designed to perfectly complement the wine flavours and extract maximum depth and character from the giant barrels. We also felt the Imperial Brown Ale was ideally suited to be barrel aged and as well as the infusion of the Malaga wine character will also benefit added complexity and maturity from the time in oak.

375ml green bottle. (Bottle 5016 of 9987) Pours an opaque dark brown almost black with plenty of sediment floating around and no head. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, caramel, dark fruit, red wine and oak. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, chocolate, licorice, caramel, dark fruit, red wine and oak with a dry, mildly bitter, warming alcohol finish. Medium to full body with a smooth, thick, oily texture and flat carbonation. Nice, very elegant. Has some depth and complexity to it.

375 ml corked & caged green bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 11.5%. Bottle No. 9861 out of 9987. Very dark brown colour, thin beige head. Aroma of malts, molasses, fusel, dark dried fruits and stale jam. Minimal carbonation in the mouth. Sweet and alcoholic flavour of molasses, dark dried fruits and oak, fairly bitter finish. Warming mouthfeel. Like most other BrewDog Abstrakt beers: Not worth the money. Won’t pay for any more of them myself.

Bottle at Erzbierschof Zurich. Beautiful brown color. A warm flat almost port-like strong ale with lots of prunes and barrel taste. Boozy and warm, perfect for a winter night at a snowy cottage with a cackling open fire.

From the very old notes, hence this is not a real rating, but more just a mark to myself that I have tried this at one point. Nice sweet and boozy brew with vinous notes.

Flaska från SB. Ett väldigt litet pys när korken går av. Riktigt mörkbrun, inget skum. Stor söt doft. Mycket sherry, madeira och sött rött dessertvin, mjuk choklad, torkad frukt, russin, farinsocker. Tycker den åldrats på ett bra sätt vilket inte kan sägas om alla Abstrakt. Smakerna hänger ihop väl och sötman är stor men funkar bra med smakerna. Perfekt till ost, småkakor eller de flesta desserter.

(Bottle) Dark brown colour, almost black, with brief frothy head. Malty nose with notes of prunes, raisins, black rye bread, treacle, chocolate, a touch of coffee, liquorice and hints of oak wood. Malty, fruity taste with raisins, dried fruit, black rye bread, chocolate, liquorice, sweet coffee, brown sugar and a vinous finish with a gentle roasty bitterness and a warming touch of sweet red wine. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Rounded mouthfeel. Complex and tasty, quite warming. Very nice.

Bottle at Beer Hunters. Opaque black color, no head. Soya, toastyness and sugar in the nose. Also light oxizided "milkyness". Medium-bodied, velvety palate. Toffee, alcohol has toned down somewhat, madeirawineish flavors. Aged gently.
