We had to add an Imperial Stout to this set of magnificent liquids and who better to do it with than our friends at the legendary Cloudwater.

For you big stout lovers you will be familiar with their My Continuous Improvement series, so were we, so that was a good place to start.

We took key elements of the MCI beers and delicately weaved it into our own stout making approach. Post fermentation we hit the beer with a Cacaodemon level of cacao nibs courtesy of our buds @tablechocolate, a load of Madagascan vanilla and, new to both of us, Pandan!

A pastry stout lovers dream.

440ml can.  Pours jet black with no head.  Aroma is grainy milk chocolate, alcohol and vanilla.  Taste has chocolate cake and vanilla throughout with a boozy finish.

440ml can. Pitch black pour with a tan head. Aroma of cacao, vanilla, caramel, hint of coffee. Taste is very sweet and rich, full on cacao, vanilla, caramel, coffee hints, possibly something subtly fruity in there, Pandan I assume? Potentially interesting ingredient there. Full bodied, thick, smooth. Delicious.

Can. Near opaque dark brown beer, small and short lived tan head. Smooth palate, slightly viscous, decent fine minerally carbonation. Soft airy but rich dark chocolate malts, a good dark chocolate cream and a fair dose of smooth espresso coffee. Some tangy dark fruits on the back end along with Dark Chocolate Malteasers. Not a particularly complex Impy but what it does, it does very well indeed.
