Harvey’s Imperial Extra Double Stout (9%, bottle) It’s hard to work out if this is an accurate recreation of an historic recipe but, nonetheless, it is reckoned by some to be the best chance most of us will get to experience the sour Brettanomyces character which would have been present in many 19th century beers. (As they say on Wikipedia, CITATION NEEDE.) It’s pretty intense; you might not even like it the first time you try it (we didn’t) but it’s well worth trying twice and is one of our favourites now.

Its one of the best Imperial Stouts I have ever had. Brett in all its glory!

It will be crown sealed as Gales arn’t around to bottle it for them anymore.

I’d be quite happy with the Imperial Stout though, I love it. The 2008 I had earlier this year was just fantastic.

Merry Christmas!!

I will have to try this Imperial Stout next time I’m there!

They had London Porter on at the Barrowboy and Banker last I was there.
