Dark and indulgent, this imperial stout is a celebration of rich flavors and bold craftsmanship. Brewed with velvety molasses and the deep, caramelized sweetness of muscovado sugar, it boasts a luscious body and layers of complexity. Expect notes of dark chocolate, roasted coffee, and toffee intertwined with a subtle treacle finish, rounded out by a warming embrace of balanced bitterness. This is decadence in a glass—a perfect companion for slow sipping or pairing with rich desserts.

Nicely rounded dark malts, burnt toast, earth, dried semi-dark fruits. Not too sweet, not too bitter. A little cocoa, ash, British yeast. Pretty well balanced. Sound.

Bottle. Nose is initially soy, licorice, but quickly mellows out into chocolate, brown sugar, with coffee. Taste is chocolate, light coffee, lots of toffee and brown sugar, treacle, and an earthy lightly medicinal hop note in the finish which prevents it being cloying.
