Collaboration with LERVIG
Lervig are renowned as one of the best breweries in the world and we got together and designed something big and dark with a twist. We've brewed a straight imperial stout called Celestial with a light roastiness and fermented using Norwegian Voss kveik yeast. This beer was allowed to ferment very hot and has produced gentle citrus notes to compliment the chocolate and coffee flavours of the base beer. We've always loved the other-worldly vibes from Lervig's artwork, so get lost in a vast sea or sky of heavenly stout. It's no coincidence that 'celestial' also means 'supremely good'.

Copenhagen 26/6 2023. 40 cl from tap at Taphouse, Lavendelstræde, Kbh. K.
Pours opaque dark brown with a small beige head. Settles as a thin but patchy layer of foam struggling to cover the surface of the beer. No lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a sweet yet earthy odor with a healthy presence of alcohol. Dark singed malts, burnt toffee and dark alcohol. Butterscotch and biscuits.
Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is fairly intense with a medium strong sweetness followed by a stronger tart bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter and a bit tart. Lingers for a while. Finish is rather dry.
A bit hard to detect the Kveik. But an interesting Imperial Stout with a tart edge.

Canned in a big old tallboy crafty craft can and purchased as a carry out at Marble Arch. Pours a jet black body with good tan head. Aroma is nordic ammonia toffee and dark chocolate bounty. Flavour is that with liquorice fudge.
