Empire Slate

This brew is an imperial version of our popular smoked porter Slate. We have used the same recipe, but turned the volume up to 11.
The result is a port-like aroma with subtle smoky notes. Rich and full but utterly drinkable, all those roasted chocolate flavours of Slate are enhanced by the extra punch from the 9.3% of alcohol

Style: Imperial Stout
ABV: 9.3%
Malt: Oak smoked pale ale, Flagon pale ale, amber, brown, chocolate, wheat
Hops: First Gold, Herkules, Cascade
Available In: Cask, Keg, 330ml bottles
