Introducing one half of a bold and decadent duo, showcasing the latest evolution of our Crema Imperial stout series.
A balanced malt bill combines pale and chocolate malt, wheat and oats with Crystal, Weyermann® Carafa® Special III and Melanoidin to create layers of dark chocolate and biscuity undertones with a velvety-smooth mouthfeel.

330ml slim can. Pitch black pour with a minimal tan head. Aroma of coffee, vanilla, dark chocolate. Taste of sweet dark chocolate and vanilla, bitter coffee, biscuit and roast malt. Full bodied, smooth, some boozy warmth. Very tasty stuff, perhaps a step down from previous Crema series beers though?

CBJ tasting. Can thanks to Cloin. Near opaque dark brown beer, small tan head. Light palate, semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation late on. Rich dark malts, chocolate fudge. Mild vanilla. Light semi dry finish. Tidy but not as rich or interesting as many in this series.

Dry rich sugary espresso character, roast, burnt sugars, little booze. Thick and chewy. Very nice in a small dose. Heavy black coffee and espresso.

Can split at the CBJ tasting, picked up from HOTM online, 13/03/2025.
Black topped with a khaki head.
Nose is chocolate, vanilla essence, molasses, dark malts, hint of coffee.
Taste comprises dark malts, brown sugar melt, light spice, chocolate, vanilla bean.
Full bodied, oily feel, semi drying close with a light boost.
Fun enough pastry if a touch overly sweet.
