Rich and dark, this award winning Imperial Stout has enough bite for anyone looking to satisfy their thirst. Roasted malt, coffee, burnt toast, and bitter fruit flavours yield to Millennium, Nugget and Styrian Golding hops.

Gravity cask at the Wandsworth Halloween Festival 2011. Pours black-brown with a small, beige head. Great mocha nose, medium roast. Outstanding flavor, rich baking cocoa-like chocolate, moderate roast, espresso, medium sweetness, light earthy bitterness. Medium bodied with fine carbonation. Faintly dry and sticky sweet finish, dirt, dark sugar, tons of mocha, baking cocoa. Long lingering cocoa. Probably best beer of the fest so far, and I don’t see it being topped. (4.4)
Bottle during the High Speed Tasting Pt. II on the train back to London. Pours deep brown with a creamy beige head. Milk chocolate in the aroma, some sugary bread. Light to medium sweet flavor with dark bread, further milk chocolate, char, strong roasted malt character. Medium bodied with fine, creamy carbonation. Dry and roasty on the finish, some baking cocoa, moderate sweetness, dirt. Solid. (3.9)
