In December 2017 we brewed a massive long-boil Imperial Stout destined for barrels. The three-day brewday helped concentrate and intensify the flavours and alcohol without the addition of any adjunct sugars.
Sea Song blends 2:1 parts red wine and bourbon barrels to produce a slightly vinous and fruity blend, with notes of toffee before an intense bitter dark chocolate finish.
Serve at room temperature and enjoy with friends.
This beer should have excellent ageing potential.

Bottle split (#128/302) at L6 Xmas Karnage tasting, thanks to Kenny, 19/12/19. Black topped with a lasting tan covering. Nose is charr, light smoke, chocolate, dried fruits, toffee. Taste comprises chocolate cake, dried fruit rinds, spice, dates, booze, mellow barrel, roasted bite. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. This was just 'OK' for the style โฆ expected more depth and complexity for the high ABV.

21st December 2019 Opaque dark brown beer, bubbly dark tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Bitter dark malts, bitter dark chocolate and bitter coffee. Some rubbery bitterness in there. Spice in the mid. Juicy red wine. Fruity bourbon but also quite bitter and savoury. Spicy finish. Well, there is plenty of flavour here hut fuck me itโs pretty harsh! The red wine element is very good but something has gone wonky elsewhere, so bitter, rubbery and savoury that it is pretty hard to drink. A rate misfire from this cracking young brewery.

Bottle massive thanks to Mark! It pours thick opaque black with a nice tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, sweet - sour, tart, tangy, vinous, chocolate cake, powdered chocolate, bourbon biscuits, coffee, mocha, umami, liquorice and some fruit jam. The taste is dry, rich roasted malt, coffee grounds, warming booze, big vinous character, tart, tangy berry, fruit compote, Victoria sponge, bourbon, vanilla, toffee, slight banana split vibes, burnt toast, peppery spice and warming alcohol with a roasty and fruity finish. Full body and fine, prickly carbonation. Good depth of flavour.. Nice vinous fruity character.
