Our 2020 vintage offers all the classic hallmarks, with rich notes of dark chocolate truffles, fresh roasted coffee, and vanilla bean. A complex wood character from the long aging in Tawny Port barrels marries with a subtle hint of sweetness.

Dark brown with a super exuberant head that foamed immediately after opening. Rich chocolate nose with some woody earthiness. Complex full malt body. Well-tempered and smooth. High ABV hinted at but not in your face. Well-balanced. Finally an Imperial Stout that doesn't rip your face off.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium size dark foamy head with light retention and some minor lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with some chocolate notes with some port wine notes also perceptible. Taste is also a mix of roasted malt notes with some chocolate notes and vinous notes with light acidic touch. Body is below average for style with good carbonation with light warming alcohol notes. Flavors are slightly off with too much acidic notes.
