A sweet, rich, and intensely complex stout, brewed with caramelised Scottish heather honey, and pure Canadian maple syrup, then aged for 4 months in Scottish whisky barrels. Featuring artwork by the one and only, Stanley Donwood (SLOWLYDOWNWARD.COM)- you might recognise it from Thom Yorke’s, The Eraser album cover!

Sample (thanks omhper!). Pitch black colour with a mediumsized brown head. Aroma is liquorice, coffee, some roast and mild syrupy tones too. Flavour is syrup, some sweetness with mild peat smoke as well as some maple syrup and a bit liquorice too. Pleasantly balanced and hides the ABV really well.

Ein ukrainisches Spezial-Starkbier zu Ehren des Präsidenten, der im Frühjahr 2022 in Kyiv blieb, aber in Schottland gebraut wurde. Es handelt sich um ein Pastry Stout mit stattlichen 10% Alkohol und einem vollmundigen Körper mit feinen Noten nach schwarzer Schokolade, Kuchen und Kaffee. Damit ist es extrem trocken und ölig, sodass es fast am Gaumen kratzt. An Intensität kann man dem Bier nichts vormachen und man kann es durchaus empfehlen.

Svart med medelstort skum. Doft av lakrits, choklad och lönnsirap. Ganska söt med smak av lakrits, honung och lönnsirap. Mjuk och rund i munnen. God.
