Say hello to the Bearded Lady, our uncompromisingly big and beautiful Imperial Stout. Born from our Dark Arts recipe, she uses masses of magical malts to deliver deep chocolate, rich coffee and vinous berry flavours, all complemented by a balanced yet subtly spicy hop profile. Powerful, robust, intriguing: yet decadently smooth and sumptuous, the lady demands respect.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a deep mahogany with a big frothy dark tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, coffee, creamy caramel. The flavour is strong bitter with a big rich smooth malt, alcoholic nutty bitter palate and a long bitter finish with an oily mouthfeel. Full bodied with soft carbonation.

33 cl bottle @ olio, BBE 2018
Aroma has ash, some tobacco, salty licorice and licorice root. Flavour has salty licorice, some ash and hints of tobacco. Too salty and actually pretty similar to the Sierra Nevada Narwhal we had before this.

Tap at The Grove, Huddersfield. 20.01.13. Black. Thin, coffee coloured head. Big, roast coffee. Burnt wood. Some dark chocolate. Lovely stuff, but has a tad too much burnt bitterness at the end, for me.
