For this year’s Dark City beer we decided to team up with two breweries who represent the old and new generations of brewing, and all that is great about both.
Old Chimneys, whose Good King Henry sets the bar for British-style imperial stout across the globe, and Wander Beyond who over the last couple of years have continued to push the ABV and flavour boundaries with their decadent creations.
We tried to bring together the best of both styles, putting together a classic, complex stout grist of roast barley and pale chocolate malt, a touch of crystal, plenty of munich malt and copious oats plus plenty of additional sugars for fermentability.
After fermenting with a classic English ale yeast we introduced multiple additions of chocolate and vanilla, building up layers of velvet delight, aiming for a true taste of indulgence in a glass.

Can. A black one, topped by a nice beige head. Vanilla, dark chocolate, coffee, lactose and a roasted malts touch in the aroma. It's super smooth and full bodied with a little warmth. Some roasted malts kind of bitterness. Lactose sweetness, dark chocolate, cocoa, mocha and some alcohol in the flavor, all lasting for a good while. A really delicious one, enjoyed rather warm in the sun. 200808

440ml can from Vinmonopolet Langnes. Dissipating, creamy tan-coloured head leaving clingy lacing on the glass. Dark brownish body. Appealing rounded roasted chocolate malty aromas. Succulent blended taste of dark bread, chocolate, and dark fruits added by a vanilla rind. Nicely roasted finish, well balanced. Fine depth. Good drinking, enjoyed for almost an hour. (Tromsø 02.04.2020).

Another lovely sweet thing. More beery, though, but still pretty desserty. Very smooth, lots of chocolate, and nicely cake'ish. Great body for the ABV. Soft, sweet, but still some roast. Bit of vanilla.
