Imperial Stouts, originating in 18th-century England, are robust beers known for their intense flavours and high alcohol content. Inspired by a desire for a more robust stout, these brews have a deep history tied to the Russian imperial court. With a dark, rich appearance and opulent malt profiles, Imperial Stouts offer a complex taste of chocolate, coffee, dark fruit, and caramel. Boasting an alcohol content surpassing 8% ABV, these ales are revered for their indulgent sipping experience.

What is ours like?

So what better way to get silly for the silly season than with Christmas in a glass! This 10% Imperial Gingerbread Christmas Stout is creamy with a decent heft of body, considering its impressive abv! The bitterness definitely sits on the lower side at 32 IBUs and feels even lower than that due to the high gravity and ABV of the beer (next time I make this, I'd bump the IBUs up to 50-60). The malt character comes with a bready biscuit, strong espresso, a touch of burnt coffee and sweet caramel toffee notes infused with a touch of sticky date pudding and plums! But the show's true star is the big ginger note that cuts through the sweetness of the beer, tasting a little more like fresh ginger than gingerbread but ideally in balance with the bouquet of spices from the cinnamon, allspice and nutmeg. Don't leave too many of these out for Santa, or he may be unable to drive his sleigh!
