The first 2017 release in our boundary-pushing release of one-off Abstrakt beers is here!

An imperial stout brewed with cacao and coffee, AB:22 has spent two years in darkness, drawing complex and indulgent flavour from the Speyside whisky casks in which it has resided: chocolate ganache, cold-brew coffee, vanilla pods, molasses, chocolate-covered raisin, fudge sundae, espresso martini, toasted coconut… this is one of our most intense and decadent barrel aged stouts, ever.

A low, incredibly dark tan head on a near black body. Head dissipates quickly. A gnarly dark nose with tanned leather, roasted malt, whiskey, licorice, dark berries and a touch of coconut. Abstrakt dark arts at their best. The taste is typically layered, intense and dark. Raisins, dark chocolate, fudge cake, leather, dark berries, whiskey and a touch of coconut. that hint of sourness takes it to another level. Not quite as rich and dense as anticipated, but solidly mid range. Bamalam.

Bottled. Pitch black colour, small head, which vanishes quite quickly. Aroma is coffee, roasted malts, mild toffee and some alcohol as well as some wood and mild vanilla. Flavour is cocoa, some roasted notes, chocolate, coffee, mild alcohol as well as some wooden and mild raisins and ripe fruits to it. Rather sweet, but still quite nicely balanced.

(Bottle) Black colour with brief, foamy, beige head. Malty, roasted nose with notes of dark chocolate, espresso, liquorice, soy sauce and whisky. Malty, roasted taste with dark chocolate, cacao, black coffee, liquorice, vanilla, toasted coconut, treacle, whisky, oak wood and a sweetish, warming finish with a generous cacao bitterness. Full body, quite sweet. Rich and powerful. Hardly shy, but really tasty and fairly well balanced. Great beer.
