Nightbreed is a 100% barley Imperial Stout brewed by making a "double mash": a second grain infusion is made using the sweet wort from the first infusion instead of water, reaching sugar concentration otherwise unachievable with a single infusion.
We put the malt bill together with the idea of creating something complex, with good roastiness but trying to keep the astringency and acidity of black malts under control. To do so we layered a considerable amount of different kinds of dark caramel malts, and topped everything up with generous amounts of both roasted barley and a very dark torrefied barley malt in its de-husked version. To compensate for the roasted barley character, we aimed to have a high amount of residual sugar left in the finished beer.
The result is a pretty thick stout that landed at 9,1% ABV carrying notes of espresso coffee, coffee grounds, hints of bitter cacao and a touch of dried figs

Copenhagen 19/8 2024. 44 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé, Frb. F. Black can in Slowburn's usual design with a bat flying in front of the full moon as poster animal.
Pours opaque dark brown with a small beige head. Stable. Settles as thin patch of foam floating about in the middle of the glass. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is fairly intense with a sweet roasted odor mingling with a bit of sour grains and earthy, boozy fumes. Dark roasted malts, toffee and caramel. Licorice. Leather and alcohol. Light carbonation. Medium thick, oily, soft, slightly viscous, fat, lightly tingling texture.
Flavor is rather intense with a strong sweetness followed and balanced by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet with a bitter undertone. Lingering. Finish is rather dry.
Fine dark and boozy bomb.
