A few months ago we teamed up with our good friends Emperor's Brewery to brew up a new take on a blast from the past homebrew recipe. This is Interstellar Hyperdrive. A 12% imperial Rum Raisin porter. Brewed with a carefully selected malt bill combined with honey and muscovado sugar and aged on Rum soaked raisins and vanilla for months, this beast is dessert in a glass.
Only two 20L kegs of this beer exist and will be exclusively available Independent Manchester Beer Convention on the thirsty games bar and later in October at the keykeg bar at Nottingham Beer Festival. Get it while you can. This one is not to be missed.

Can from Needle and pin Loughborough. Jet black with a thick tan head. Aroma and taste are roasted malty and molasses with chocolate rum and raisin. Wow. Not overly sweet. But very rich.
