It's been brought to my attention - thanks Edward - that the grist numbers for the 1914 Courage Imperial Stout recipe in the 1909 Beer Style Guide are wrong. I've corrected the book, but I thought that I'd publish the recipe so those who have already purchased the book can get the correction.

Here you go:


Courage - 1914 - Imperial Stout
General info: Very big beer, buckets of alcohol, very hoppy and dark as night. This was a massively scarce beer. So rare in fact that when it was produced it was only done some with a gyle with the export stout and porter consisting of less than 2% of the entire parti-gyle. Such a sad, sad day... This, in my opinion, is the best Russian Stout every made. Hands down. Remember, everything in moderation...especially moderation.

Tasting Notes: Dark blackish brown and syrupy. Madeira, rum raisins, port, black cherries, hints of treacle and cocoa. Pipe tobacco and a walnut tannic drying character. A deep and rich drying finish that lingers for ages. Words do not do this beer justice...
