Garage Project - Cabbages And Kings Imperial Oyster Stout 650ml
Originally brewed in 2015 this is the opposite of the luscious Pastry Stouts that populate the market these days. Using Horopito & Manuka smoked malt, NZ pepper leaf and 10 dozen Te Maua Bay Oysters, Cabbages & Kings has a pleasant brine character, underlaid smokiness and subtle savoury spice. You may note the Best Before date of July 2020 on the bottle; knowing Imperial Stouts are built to benefit from some cellaring, we bought this beer back in 2019 with the express purpose of aging it in a temperature-controlled environment to release at a later date. Well that date has finally arrived and, through diligent QC tasting, we can confirm that cellaring was a great call! The flavours have married seamlessly and the beer is presenting itself as a well-rounded, silky smooth, balanced to utter perfection, complex work of art. -Carwyn Cellars
