Honeycomb, Maple and Pecan imperial stout.
A really good, tasty, sweet beer. Tonnes of flavour packed in, and nice and smooth to boot.

Stroopwafel Imperial Stout.
Not too keen on this one, very tasty and super strong flavoured, but a little bit spiced and not really my cup of tea. A great stout all the same however.

A Cherry trifle flavoured imperial stout.
Quite chocolatey, but lacking in the cherry area. all in all a great beer, but just another disappointment on the cherry front. You can taste a vanilla type flavour too. . .

The last of the fifth birthday special edition imperial stouts to sample, its been an epic journey that I am sad to be at the end of. . . I put off trying this for some time as I love chilli and spicy food etc. but. . . I have been bought a number of chilli beers before and they have been awful, just pure heartburn in a can. . . I finally plucked up the courage to try this after reading up on “mole sauce” and realising that it is actually a dessert sauce in Mexico with chilli and tomato in it.
My initial thought was to keep it for when I am due to do a chilli, so as not to waste it, but it didn’t matter, a beautiful beer. had a warmth to it from the chilli sure, but it had a classic stouty flavour, super malty with a nice undertone of chocolate. A great all round beer and definitely the best chilli infusion I have tried. Nailed it BY / Fierce!

A super smooth, full bodied, strong, yet not too much imperial stout. Very flavoursome with a complex malt profile. A great beer.

A nice, well rounded, balanced imperial stout with all the standard roasty goodness and a chocolatey undertone you would expect. Good solid pint.

The last in their freaky franchise series. . . a Honeycomb, tonka bean, coconut, cacao and vanilla imperial milk stout. Its strong, very tasty, but slightly overpowered by the coconut, all round a great, solid imperial stout. quite sweet mind. . .

The fourth in their state of mind barrel aged series, and another belter. . . the first thing that hits you on opening the can is a zesty orange smell, followed almost instantly by an almond scent. The first thing you taste is the almond, but it is backed up with a nice complexity and cacophony of flavours from the port barrel aging process.
A great beer, and one to savour.

A Maple & Pecan Imperial Milk Stout. Its pretty incredible, sweet maple syrup, and pecan nuts come through in abundance, in a super smooth stout that tastes nowhere near as strong as it is.
