A big, bold Imperial Stout brewed with our good friends at 3 Sons Brewery from Dania Beach, Florida. This beer aims to capture the depth and complexity of a barrel aged stout in a fresh beer without any barrel aging, using a blend of innovative barrel-derived extracts, wood additions and micro-oxidation.

Can at home, 20th September 2025. Pours thick and black. Aroma is heavy sweet, chocolate, caramel. Taste is very sweet, chocolate and brown sugar, maybe wood notes and liquor. It’s alright, but far too sweet.

440ml can from Middle Farm, Firle. Poured almost black in colour with little life. The aroma is roasty, vinous, oaky. The flavour is strong sweet, with a rich, silky smooth, dry oaky, buttery caramel, light red berry fruit, warm alcohol bitter palate. Full bodied with flat carbonation.
