A delicious Marsala barrel-aged Dessert Imperial Stout.

Our elegant and decadent My Continuous Improvement Stout has been aged in Marsala barrels before adding bitter orange peel and cacao nibs. The result is a beer that has fruity herbaceousness akin to Amaro liqueur, but that has a rounded and charred finish thanks to the addition of cacao.

Made with time and love at Cloudwater.

Bottle. Slick and rich. Nice bitter peel. Drinks a decent sipper but the base beer is too sickly to start, for me.

Bottle at home, from CW online, 14/12/22. Pitch black with a fast collapsing golden to khaki head. Nose is chocolate, herb, chai spice, marsala wine, dark fruit rinds, charr. Taste comprises dark chocolate, light spice, hint of coffee, mellow roast, marsala barrel, dried fruit rinds, fruit cake mix, toffee. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced rising boost. Solid well balanced BA impy stout ... not to sweet, a good light herby to roasted tone sets the scene.
