Our collaboration with Neon Raptor is a rich and decadent imperial stout to cheer us up as we step into the colder months!
Made with a bundle of the tastiest malts and a bountiful load of cacao husks in the mash with a sprinkling of lactose to up the sweetness and increase the body of this luscious, chocolatey smooth and chewy imperial stout. We circulated the finished beer through even more cacao husks and a choc-load more cacao nibs resulting in hugely chocolatey stout backed up with peanut and banana flavour making for a robust, sweet and roasty beer balanced between desert beer fun but countered with a malty and complex classic stout.

--Sample, thanks oh6gdx! -- Black, small beige head. Aroma of banana milk shake and peanut butter. Very sweet with medium body and clean, rounded mouthfeel. Bubblegum, caramel, licorice and mashed banana. A mess.

Keg at the North Brew bar, Birmingham, 18/02/23. Light black with a khaki cap that veers to a swirl. Nose is earthy roast, nutty, chocolate, light roast, toasted brown sugars. Taste comprises toffee fudge, peanut butter, chocolate dipped banana, light roast, nutty twang, brown sugar dusting. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Decent balance ... doesn't run too sweet.
