8th Birthday - Danish Pastry Imperial Stout (Azvex collab)
It’s always a given that when it comes to Birthday Beer time, we’re always going to dip over to the dark side. Who better then to extend an invitation to share knowledge and expertise with than one of the best in the game today when it comes to imperial stouts, and one which we’ve worked closely with since their launch, Azvex? As longtime admirers of their big, decadent pastry stouts, we couldn’t think of anyone better to work with than our friends from just over the water in Liverpool. Working our recipe around the fika breaks we have at Polly’s every working day, we loved the idea of creating the flavour profile of a danish pastry in this beer - utilising the fresh vanilla we’ve applied to our Oat Cream beers, alongside raisin for a subtle fruit sweetness, and a final flourish of cinnamon to balance everything out. Featuring artwork produced by the wonderful local artist and good friend of the brewery Jake Cross, this beer took up a grand total of five separate brew slots in our brewing week, with a ridiculous twenty-four hour slow rolling boil to concentrate all those sugars. the result is a slick, oily and decadent imperial stout - rich in flavour but not cloying, and widely regarded within the brewery as our best imperial stout brewed over our eight year history.
