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 bottle. Dark brown, almost black body with a small tan head. Smooth and pleasant aroma of fruit, burnt sugar, malt and warming alcohol. Flavor is sweet, vinous, fruity, berries, hint of chocolate and balanced bitterness. Rather Belgium in flavor. Fine body and a good aftertaste. A very pleasant beer with lots of fruity and balanced flavor, fine balance of sweet and acidity.

Bottle 37,5 cl. Courtesy of yespr. Pours a clear deep red with a small off-white head. Lovely pruney nose, loads of dark dried fruit, a whiff of coffee and quite some warming alcohol. Rich body, lovely dark, dried fruits, a little Belgian yeast and again this subtle, spicy coffee note. Warming alcohol finish. Lovely. 221012
