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.

At the first Kinki Beer Tasting, bottle 3273 of 9987. My second favorite of the four, this imperial brown/barleywine was the best balanced of the bunch. It poured a reddish-brown almost cola-ish pour. The aroma had a touch of booze but was mostly malty sweet, caramel & raisin. The medium-light body was malty sweet goodness, not too complex but incredibly solid.

On the train from Hereford to Inverness, bottle from Realale.com Twickers, 18/10/13. Opaque mahogony brown with a thin light tan covering. Nose is dark malts, toffee fudge, light booze, muscavado sugars, light smoke, earthy cocoa tones, fruity jams. Taste comprises dark malts, berry fruit compote, cake mix, chocolate, toffee fudge, raspberry tones, sherry notes. Full bodied, fine carbonation, boozey finale. Decent drop, the alcohol is well integrated and this beer carries a good level of depth - lots going on!

Bottle - Dark fruit, brown sugar and some chocolate. Muddy brown with a thin brown head. Molasses, dark fruit, some sourness (from the wine I assume) and a little heat in the finish along with some coffee notes. Very complex and definitely worth a try.

Flaske fra polet, nr. 8296: flott skum soim forsvinner raskt. Første smaksinntrykk ga meg umiddelbar assosiasjon til barndommens lakrisbåter, men etter hvert kom også sødme og rødvinsnoter fram. en kompleks og rik smak, perfekt til sjette episode av Brideshead Revisited - god bryggerkunst og sublim skuespillerkunst. Slik kan en søndagskveld nytes.

Black with brown head - Sweet malt and wineus aroma - very good sweet malt body with dark fruits, some wine notes - Finish is lingering sweet dark fruits and malt with some nice alcohol heat in the back - very good and easy to enjoy on a cold winter night
