In honour of our favourite Star Baker and the man who wasn't afraid to pour OOPLA into one of his creations during the most recent season of Great British Bake Off, we have brewed JURGEN, a 12% imperial stout brewed with a rich malt base of roasted, chocolate and crystal malts.
We then aged this hefty beer on the best cacao nibs we could get our hands on.
Imagine yourself sitting in a cosy café furnished with neat white oak tables, with the aromas of fresh-brewed espresso, with a plate full of dark chocolate brownies and salted chocolate pretzels in front of you.
It's like that, but distilled in liquid form.

Festival sample, Sørlandets Matfestival 2023. Pitch black body under a thin beige head. Aroma has dark malt, chocolate, lactose, coffee, licorices and nut cream. Taste is pretty sweet and slightly boozy with all the same ingrediencies as found in aroma. Bold and tasty. Not bad for a pastry.

440ml can from the brewery. Poured almost black in colour with a bubbly off white head. The aroma is roasty malt, liqourice and boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet and liqourice bitter, with a smooth, roasty, liqourice, aromatic, floral, herbal, boozy alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with soft carbonation. I expected more body if I’m honest and with a touch more sweetness. Nice, but not the best imperial stout I’ve drunk this evening.
