Our highly rated imperial stout, iStout, aged for 3 years in Pinot Noir barrels with added brettanomyces. Roasty and boozy as the original but also funky, dry, wild and unchained.

2016 vintage. 500mL bottle, pours black with a large tan head. Aroma is all brett, with vinous notes, intense funk, and some roast. Flavour is over the too brett, to the point of being rather unpleasant — very funky, somewhat farty, with lots of roast, and almost no vinous character left. The brett has dominated this and rather destroyed this. Alright.

Bottle shared at the Beau in London tasting, last group tasting for 7 months - who knew, thanks to Tipple 11/03/20. Black with a good sized tan head. Nose is tangy dark fruit esters, roasted malts, spice, charr, light brett notes. Taste comprises tarte fruits, chocolate, fruit cake, mellow bretted notes, funk, light roast, ashen tones, red berries. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a balanced rising boost. Decent but not blow me away by any means.

Bottle shared at the Beau London tasting 11/03/2020. Many thanks to Adrian Tipple. A dark jet black coloured pour with a lasting dark tan head. Aroma is brett, salty roast, pineapple, ash, hint of grape. Flavour is composed of bretty, semi sweet, roast, bretty, roast, vanilla, bretty funk. Palate is semi sweet, bretty, tangy roast, frothy airy carbonation. Interesting bretty stout.

Botella 50 CL en Cimmeria 21..11.. 2018. (r20 ) Color negro intenso con bastante espuma beige oscuro que desaparece al poco casi por completo. Sabores intensos desde el principio maltosos tostados con buena dosis de maderas quemadas. Suaves cacaos y vainillas y toques avinados tintos y maderas, uvas tintas maduras. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio, densa fina, bastante sabor en boca duradero, y quemado. Bastante buena para repetir.

On tap at Avenue Pub. Pours black with medium beige head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is strong roast, cocoa, funky, oak. Slick body, similar flavors to nose, nice dry finish, vinous, enjoyed this.
