Barclay Perkins and Courage weren’t alone in producing an Imperial Stout. Fellow London brewer Truman had one, too.

It doesn’t quite reach my Imperial Stout baseline of 1110º. I’ll forgive them the one gravity point.

A high percentage of brown malt seems to be a characteristic of the posher Porters and Stouts. It’s certainly the case here. Which, I suppose, made it logical to drop the black malt percentage.

Then there is just a whole load of hops. An almost unimaginable quantity: three quarters of a ton. For just 185 barrels. No surprise, then, that the calculated IBUs are in the impossible zone.

Two years in wood is what it deserves. Don’t let it down.
