Kees caramel fudge stout is a favourite across all the staff at North, so when it came to collaborating with the famed dark wizards the choice of what we should brew together was quite easy.
Here we’ve brewed a big 10% imperial stout with a complex malt grist using eight different malts, caramel in the boil and coffee and cocoa nibs in the fermentor. The beer has a big nose of creamy tiramisu, an incredibly smooth and silky body and a balanced sweetness to carry these heavyweight flavours. Flavours of rich chocolate, sweet cherries from the mildly roasted coffee and clean oak from the cocoa nibs make this beer a perfect aperitif or pudding substitute.

Can. Mr. Pickles, Sheffield. Very dark, chestnut brown. Slim, swirly, leggy, tan head. Nose has treacle and toffee apple. Sugary coffee. Some liquorice. A little woody. Some earthy notes. Taste is sugary sweet, with a light, earthy bitterness. Fairly light body for the ABV. Low carbonation. Dries out somewhat. Woody bitterness to finish. Looks great, and smells good, too, but overall feels a little thin and dry.
