Polish your diamonds & find your fanciest hat, because this collaboration is quite a lot luxury.
We had wanted to brew an intense milk stout for a while, and the Left Handed Giant crew know what they are doing around some milk sugars/lactose. When Jack from LHG came to Tottenham for our May collaboration, something imperial, creamy and indulgent was top of the list.
If you’re going big on a milk stout, you might as well take it all the way to massive. Escape Pod is maxed out with vanilla, coconut and cacao nibs. Brewed with milk sugars, it is smooth and shamelessly sweet.

Can from Cotteridge Wines and shared with the Kuala Lumpur Tasting Crew. Poured a clear dark brown colour with a thin broken tan head. The aroma is big roasty malt, sweet chocolate, coconut, vanilla. The flavour is moderate to strong sweet, with a smooth, rich, oily, red berry fruit, sweet chocolate, big coconut palate. Medium to full bodied with flat carbonation. Superb.

Can. Opaque dark brown beer, decent darkish tan head. Smooth palate, slightly soft, decent fine minerally carbonation, perhaps a touch too much so. Soft dark malts, creamy dark chocolate. Good chocolate cake. Nicely integrated light coconut. This beer has attracted a lot of high scores and I get that. I like it but it’s a tiny bit boozy and dies away at the very end. Very good all the same. Chocolate fudge linger.
