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.

Tap at BrewDog Camden. It pours dark brown, with a decent off-white head. The nose is treacle, toffee, fudge, butterscotch, coffee liqueur, dark fruit (dark fruit and cherry), marzipan and some medicinal notes. The taste is coffee liqueur, toffee, treacle, butterscotch, bitter chocolate, wood, roasted malt, brown sugar, marzipan, touch of malt vinegar, dark fruit and varnish, with a bitter, slightly burnt finish. Full body, fine carbonation and slightly sticky mouth-feel. Lots going on for sure. Pretty good.
