Yep. My favourite dark beer period.All good brews, but the peanut butter porter is a fucking stunner!
You remember passion pop? I reckon this is easier to drink on a hot day, nice balance, think it's another where I've gone back for more, from memory.Yeah I think it might be a bit deadly in warmer weather
Yep that mixed with some sour worms. Shared some with my riding buddy the other weekend after a ride and went down way too easy mid winter, let alone mid summer.Yep. My favourite dark beer period.

Chapter 2, "Asylum": Sugar Maple, Amburana-aged Imperial Stout. Imperial Stouts are thick and syrupy by nature, and the maple bumps it up another notch. A little weirdly, the Amburana wood-ageing is more apparent in this brew than in last year's "pure" one; there's a definite nutty edge to this one. Bluddy nice. Also at 11.1%, it's a touch lighter than the previous series, but still bloody big and yum!Brick Lane have a new "Trilogy of Fear", which has only been out a few weeks, so should be reasonably-well available. I'll update this post as I go, because I haven't had them all yet....
Chapter 1, "Hush Little Baby": labelled as "Voodoo Imperial Stout", over the normal rich syrupiness that characterises all Imperials, this has strong overtones of resinous conifer wood smoke, with a bit of vanilla & cacao mixed in. Not as sweet as other Imperials, the smoke, resin & spice are the dominant flavours. At 11.1% abv it is a big brew, but slightly tamer than the previous Trilogy.

Chapter 3, "Offering": Bourbon Imperial Stout. Sort of revisiting last year's series with this one. Like all Imperials, it's big, thick and impenetrably black, with a mild but noticeable smoky sweetness imparted by the spirit infusion. At 11.6%abv it's the strongest of this Trilogy, and although softer than the previous Trilogy is still quite a sock knocker offererer.Chapter 2, "Asylum": Sugar Maple, Amburana-aged Imperial Stout.
