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.

330ml can. Pours black with a thin brown head that disappears immediately. Aroma of coffee, dark chocolate, coconut. Taste is rich, lots of coffee, roast malts, dark chocolate, coconut, vanilla, caramel, sugar, sweet but the coffee and roast malt give plenty of bitterness, oak and whiskey notes, boozy warmth. Full bodied and smooth. Just as good as the non-BA.

330 ml can. Pours black with short bubbly head. Aromas of coconut, dark chocolate, whiskey, dry vanilla and roasted malts. Rich, intense flavors of same with more whiskey and additional espresso. Just a little sweetness at the end but otherwise quite dry. No sense of the ABV. Beauty.
