À propos

The Kernel Brewery in London brews this Imperial Brown Stout from a historical recipe sourced from the Barclay Perkins brewing archives, inspired by the robust London stouts of the mid-19th century. At 9.1% ABV, it is a full-bodied, layered stout with a distinctly dry character. Flavour unfolds in stages: roasted malt and cocoa lead with dryness and bitterness, then open into dried fruit and molasses. The base of Maris Otter malt is supported by amber, brown and black malts, building depth that carries through to a lingering finish. This is a stout built for structure and intensity—dark, roasted and resolutely dry, rewarding those who seek substance over sweetness.
