Põhjala Szechuan Bänger is an Imperial Stout from Tallinn that pushes culinary boundaries. The brewery adds an unexpected twist to this powerful style: Szechuan pepper, star anise, ginger and Pu-Erh tea. The result is a complex beer that combines smoky malt character with the distinctive tingle of Szechuan pepper and the warm spice of ginger.

The flavour is rich and intense, with dark chocolate and coffee as the foundation, supported by molasses and subtle tartness. The spices deliver a prickling finish that lingers. At 12.5% ABV, this beer carries enough warmth to let the layered flavours shine through.
