This stout has taken every inch of flavour from the barrels and then some. For the latest in the Abstrakt family – a lineage that celebrates experimentation at every turn – we have created a beer that celebrates in twelve (12) malts. As you can imagine, a dozen different malts produce a huge imperial stout and the combination of US and European hops are there to complement it; added only to the boil this latest Abstrakt is a champion of grain and ageing.

The aroma gives this away immediately, with edges of coffee, dark chocolate, toffee, forest fruits, and a vanilla sweetness mingling with a rye spiciness from the wood. We have also added coffee, honey, demerara sugar and milk sugars to the brewsheet – just to create even more layers of flavour. AB:27 is thick, smooth and flows into a warming finale that is unlike anything we have released before. But then that is why we have Abstrakt.

Vom Fass im BrewDog/DogTap Berlin 2019-08 getrunken. Dieses kräftige Stout kommt erstaunlich recht leicht trinkbar herüber. Neben den Eichenfasseinfluss was die typischen Röstaromen von dunkler Schokolade und etwas Kaffee sehr gut abrundet. Tolles Zeug!

At a tasting, small bubbly brown bread, opaque very very dark brown, aroma of chocolate cake, some prunes, whiff of metal and a bit of barrel wood in the back, quite sweet but mellow, bittersweet chocolate, roastiness, alcohol coming through but not too aggressive. Nice, quite balanced.

Bottle at home shared with Rob, 21/07/19. Black with a good sized tan cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is rich roast, chocolate, light bourbon, mellow roast, cacao nibs. Taste comprises dark malts, light spice, balanced bourbon, dark chocolate, faint coffee bean, roasted bite. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a kiss of booze. This was an Ok BA impy stout … no more … no less … kind of felt let down given some of the Abstrakt offerings in the past … this didn't really sing for me just a formulaic example of the sub genre.

On tap at BrewDog Shoreditch. black beer lasting tan head. well some bourbon vanilla aroma. barrel ageing character. intense dark chocolate and espresso coffee some toffee from the bourbon some vanilla some burn later on. long time since I had a bourbon barrel aged imperial stout. Decent though. pretty well balanced.
