Forbidden Wizards is a huge Imperial Stout we brewed up with the incredible Voodoo Brewery from Meadville, Pennsylvania. These guys are masters, or should we say, wizards, when it comes to this style of beer. We also worked with two of our amazing neighbours to make the freshest and most flavourful beer of this style we could. We have packed in an enormous amount of cacao from Luisa’s Vegan Chocolates then followed this up with an equally enormous load of coffee from Stewarts of Trent Bridge to further intensify the flavour.

Can split at L6, thanks to Danny, 16/01/20. Black with a tan cap that dissipates edgeward. Nose is sweet malts, pastry notes, chocolate, toffee, brown sugars. Taste comprises dark malts, toffee, chocolate Danish, molasses, brown sugar melt. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light balanced boost offered. Ok impy if a touch sweet and lacking any real complexity.

Pours black with a mid sized head. Aroma is coffee and hazel nuts. The flavor is dominated by coffee but there's also chocolate and nuts. The alcohol brings a warming finish.

Can shared in London - cheers to Dan. Pours clear, deep brown with a small, creamy tan head. Tasty, fun stuff, some peanuts, bitter dark chocolate, nips of ashy roast. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, more ashy roast, bitter cocoa, alcohol, burnt sugars. Solid.

440ml can. Pours jet black with a small head. Aroma is very bitter cold coffee, touch of dark chocolate. Taste has lots of bitter coffee throughout with roast and tar on the finish. Dark chocolate aftertaste.
