magine baking a Black Forest gateau with our much loved double-chocolate My Continuous Improvement Imperial Stout, and then brewing an Imperial Cake Ale with cake after cake after cake, layering up sweet chocolate, cherry, tonka, and vanilla
It’s been an awful year. Take a moment to treat yourself to the indulgent 11% ABV drinking cake.

440ml can. Thick and sweet with some of cherry juice, tonka and loads of dark chocolate, some syrup, dry roastiness and cocoa. Quite heavy and complex, but the tonka cherry sweetness doesn't fit in very well.

Can at home from CW online. Pours jet black, thick as engine oil, with a dirty tan head. Aroma is chocolate, fudge, cocoa, dried fruit, cherry. Taste is like liquidised boozy dark chocolate brownie you'd buy from a posh artesan bakery, sour cherry, lots of fudge. Boozy kick at the end. So thick and unctious. This is amazing!

Canned 440ml. -from Goblet Zagreb. Pitch black coloured, medium sized brown head, chocolate and cinnamon in the nose. Chocolate, chocolate cake, light griotte, notes of spices and touch of tonka and alcohol with sweetish spicy finish. Really great.

Can. Beer Stop, Dronfield. Thick and slick pour sits black in the glass. Slim halo of tan. Solid legs. Wow, this is absolutely ridiculous. Melted quality chocolate and bittersweet dessert cherry. Smooth and slick and just the right side of sticky decadence. Stupid easy drinking. Nice tartness too, off the cherry. Unputdownable.

Sample thanks to Cloin: Poured a pitch black with a brown head, left ring around the glass. Aroma is huge pastry, cake, cherries, chocolate, spices, roasted malts. Taste is boozy, cherry, chocolate, warms the palate, smooth tho, rich malts.
