Description
A long time ago, in a brewery far, far away....a keen home brewer had a dream to produce the greatest Imperial Stouts and Porters the galaxy had ever seen. That dream is Emperor's Brewery...and it is fully operational!

This will be a day long remembered...

Moved to co-locate with Bang The Elephant in Langley Mill in 2024.

Canned output is contract brewed at Dugges in Sweden.

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 21/04/24. Pitch black with a good sized khaki head that thins to a swirl in time. Nose is chocolate, blueberry syrup, sugars, blueberry pancakes, brown sugar melt. Taste comprises less of the blueberry brutality that the nose portrayed (thankfully), chocolate, spice, dark malts, molasses. Full bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a balanced kiss of alcohol. Emperor needs to polish up on his fucken mind tricks ... not really convincing me with this !!! Not terrible but the nose was not great.
