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.

Can, thx Zhenya! With Adam V and Brandt. Very dark misty brown body, no head. Enormous walnut and maple aroma, sharp. Lean, dry oily taste, maple, walnut and low cocoa, simplistic, quite a bit warming. Not much barrel. Missing body and... Eh. Bit much and not in great ways.

330ml can. Pours black with a thin tan head. Aroma of sweet blueberry cheesecake, chocolate, a bit of rum barrel. Taste is very sweet, blueberry cheesecake is still there, lots of vanilla, rum barrel adding some more boozy notes to it, biscuity malts and milky chocolate, warming alcohol. Full bodied, smooth. Delicious, perhaps a bit too sweet, just as good as the base beer though. Same rating.
