As Good As It Gets
Imperial Stout
17.5% vol
Taste
Leather and tobacco join up with lightly burnt toast and a topping of raisin confit, before melting into sweet toffee and vanilla sauce. A thick and chewy oak character comes through with a healthy roasted coffee bitterness and intense malt character. A beer that allows for intense contemplation over how much you, the world, and the beer itself have seen.
Nose
Roasted chestnuts, dried figs and prunes, and vanilla laced coconut looms large from the glass, before inviting you in. Burnt sugar and caramels come through with sweet red berries and a touch of pine.
