Proper Brewing Co's Imperial Stout. Label approved 6 October 2019.
Lighter than 88% of the 160 Imperial Stout labels we've read.
From the label“"Sláinte" (pronounced sláht-cha) is the traditional Gaelic toast meaning "to your health!" Marie Otter pale malt, flaked barley, caramel and roasted malts, and English hops are fermented clean with an ale yeast from London for a dry, full-bodied result. The flavor is heavy roast with themes of coffee and dark chocolate. Warming releases notes of raisin and black currant. A hint of lasting brown sugar and char linger on the tongue. Raise a glass to you and yours - Sláinte!”
