Russian Imperial Stout
Deep and complex brew with a hefty malt bill – so big we had to mash in twice! Packed full of Galaxy, Chinook, Centennial and Columbus hops.
This beer will only get better with age.
Bearded Lady Imperial Stout Bourbon aged Stout with Cacao Nibs, Vanilla & Cinnamon
Six month Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrel aged version of the double-mashed imperial stout Bearded Lady.
The barrel ageing softens the beer adding rich bourbon, sweet vanilla and a hint of oak. Dessert Edition is further aged with additions of Venezuelan Cacao Nibs, Madagascan Vanilla and Indian Cinnamon, adding satisfying chocolate flavours and a hint of spice.
Powerful, robust, intriguing, yet decadently smooth and sumptuous.
This is an imperial version of our coffee milk stout, with twice the coffee. You will not sleep tonight!
It’s Big, its Milky and its Stouty! What more do you need? With Vanilla pods added to the brew this stout is a rich chocolaty delight.
A beefed up, imperial Tonkoko! Expect an even bigger coconut, Tonka, Cacao & Vanilla hit, to compliment the extra abv. Wrapped in a creamy sweet milk stout.
With lashings of liquorice, dark chocolate and treacle, this is a superb Stout.
It pours road tar black, thick and unctuous, and smells of window putty and prunes.
Taking a mouthful is plunging yourself into the depths of a big black Beery hole, fathoms of flavour bounce around your head, aniseed and tamarind to toffee, coffee and honey, burned wholemeal toast, coal tar soap and bitter chocolate.
There’s some much needed hazel leaf and bracken pithy hedgerow hopping that adds a splash of brightness, but altogether this is a beer about the darker side of drinking, a beer to sink into
