An Imperial Stout made with a blend of three Port Barrel-aged stouts and the addition of cacao nibs. Notes of rich, melted chocolate are complimented with a subtle yet distinct background presence of port character. Each sip delivers an impactful blend of sweet, indulgent melted chocolate, seamlessly integrated with the nuanced port influence, a medium body, and a silky smooth mouthfeel from the first taste to the lingering finish.

Редко когда кофейный стаут так может зайти. Всё делает шикарный томный черный шоколад на длительном как марафон финише. Баланс почти идеальный.

TCBW2024. Black colour, small brown head. Aroma is liquorice, chocolate, some syrupy tones with mild fudge to it. Flavour is liquorice, dried fruits, chocolate, some vanilla, fudge and a bit wooden tones. Port gives a nice sweetness to it. Hides alcohol surprisingly well.
