Sublime Stout is generously hopped at four points of the brewing process, including a dry hopping in the conditioning vessel, to help build flavour and aroma in the brew. The complex grist is used to build body, colour and flavour within the beer. Each batch is matured for a minimum of four weeks and is krausened for a champagne mouth feel. Sublime Stout is krausened with Vital Spark, this is done reintroduce fresh yeast to the brew to help with second fermenting in the cask and bottle. When kept in bottle Sublime Stout is designed to mature for a long time and will age to create deeper well rounded flavours.

A: The beer is very close to being black in color - only traces of dark red are visible near the bottom of the glass when it is held up to a bright light. It poured with a short off white head that died down, leaving a large patch of bubbles on the surface and a collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Moderate aromas of dark malts are present in the nose along with some hints of licorice.
T: As in the smell, the taste has lots of flavors of dark malts without any bit of roasted nature. Although no bitterness is perceptible, there are enough underlying hops to mask any sweetness. As the beer warms up, some hints of peat become noticeable in the finish.
M: It feels medium-bodied and a little smooth on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer tastes like an Imperial English Stout, if there was such as style—its a little more "souped up" compared to other beers in the style. There is a very good balance between the malts and hops.

On tap at St. Andrews Brewing Co. brewpub.
Near black, and near opaque body with a fine, creamy tan head and ruby highlights at the edges. With backlighting a beautiful ruby color is revealed. The glass is left almost completely coated with sticky lacing.
Aroma: Very pleasing if hard to characterize. Sweet with some toffee and chocolate.
Flavor: delicious; lightly sweet; no burnt grains but there's a touch of smoke. Leaves a very mildly bitter aftertaste. .
O: drinks like a light Imperial stout.

Garnet black with creamy tan film.
Raspberry, raw brown sugar and roast nose - sweet.
Liquorice sweets, blackberry, a roasty hit, then some orangey hops.
Coffee candy end and rindy linger.
Light to medium, round and fizzy.
Considerable sweetness a but whack of bitter, too - from both roast and IBUs. Some very American hops in there. Balanced, maybe a touch thin, but interesting interplay of influences.
