18 began life as an Imperial Brown Ale before we bombarded it with Scottish tayberries and purple raspberries and locked it away in rum barrels for two years, infusing rich dark fruit flavours and oaky warmth into the mix.
In a 21st century tribute to the ancient London tradition of blending stock and young ales, we then carefully blended it with a fresh & hoppy batch of specially brewed Black Ale, adding a burst of blackcurrant and citrus to this complex Imperial Brown.

Bottle shared in London - cheers! Pours deep brown with a small, creamy tan head. The nose holds torched wood, alcohol, dark malts, brown sugar, toasted malts. Medium sweet flavour with strong alcohol, earth, leathery berries, cocoa, a little peat. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Warming finish, some raw alcohol, more peat, roast, bitter cocoa. Hearty. Good one.

Tap at Boku to inu. Rich treacle in the nose, spice, orange, comes across much like a Belgian quad. Spicy, malty, sweet treacle. Great balance. Reminds me a bit of a Rochefort 10 without the body. Like this. Crazy expensive though.
