Our first barrel aged Imperial Stout, brewed in collaboration with Bereta Brewing Co. from Romania. Two mashes, the second a reiterated mash from the first wort. Barrel aged for a year, half in ex-bourbon barrels and half in ex-UK-Rum barrels. Resulting in the thickest and most decadent beer we’ve ever made

Barrel is there, but boozy and thin. Some dried fruit on the nose and maybe a touch metallic. Touch of autolysis.

Can from Prost! bottle shop, The Wirral. Black pour with a tan head. Nose is jammy dark fruits, molasses, dark chocolate, touch of coffee. Taste is jammy dark fruits & molasses leading to long lasting undertones of dark roast coffee & caramel, really sets the tone. Heavy sweet lightly boozy aftertaste. Very nice.

Waxed (:sigh:) can that jmgreenuk shared with us most generously! And thanks Beese I reckon! Murky dark brown body, almost no head, which is off-white. Creamy milk chocolate and cherry, sweet orange and coconut in the aroma, lovely! The taste, creamy again but lean enough to be drinkable, repeats the milk chocolate, coconut and fruity notes the aroma promises. Excellent!

440ml can from my son for my birthday and shared in Kuala Lumpur! Poured almost black in colour with a round bubbly off-white head. The aroma is roasted malt, sugary. The flavour is over moderate sweet, with a big, smooth, rich, sweet sugary, oily, boozy, light liquorice bitter palate. Over medium bodied with soft carbonation.
