THIS BEER IS
AB:21 is a liquorice and blackcurrant infused imperial stout. Rolling in at an imposing 12% abv, this huge and decadent dark beer dials down the charred roastiness and focuses instead on the rich, full-bodied chocolate and dark fruit character of the style.

BREWER'S TIP
As with all of our Abstrakts this one is great for ageing. Be extra vigilant at all times as a small fault now will lead to disaster a few years down the line.
