One in a three-part series of single-barrel Imperial Stouts combining our pre-adjunct My Continuous Improvement base with old-world oak. This edition features the very first batch of My Continuous Improvement, aged in a five-year-old Port barrel. Softly carbonated to channel the experience of an indulgent digestif. Best paired with a period of complete stillness and reflection - who are your thoughts?

25th June 2021 Tasting at Fergus gaff. Thanks to Fergus. Opaque black brown beer, no real head. Palate is fairly smooth, mildly dry and has just a touch of viscosity. Reasonable fine carbonation, fine for this beer. Rich chocolate laden malts, trace of caramel. Light but pleasing Port Barrel, berry liqueur coming through. Whisper of dry barrel and a mild alcohol spice on the fairly light finish. Seductive.
