Indulge in the ultimate expression of craftsmanship with this luxurious barrel-aged Imperial Coffee Stout.
Meticulously aged for 22 months in premium Bourbon barrels, this beer exudes unparalleled depth and complexity. Its velvety, full-bodied texture embraces a bold espresso foundation, artfully balanced by layers of rich molasses, golden honey, and decadent dark chocolate. Each sip is crowned with a whisper of muscovado sugar, adding a delicate caramelised sweetness that lingers elegantly on the palate.

Bottle shared as a last beer at our Nottingham apartment. Black and pretty still with a small beige head. Lovely woody oaky aroma dominating with coffee, bourbon, vanilla and dark chocolate. Bloody delicious but could really do with being a little less flat.
