THIS BEER IS
Our most involved beer, Tokyo* is an Imperial Stout brewed with copious amounts of specialty malts, jasmine and cranberries, dry-hopped with a bucket-load of our favourite hops and then carefully aged on toasted French oak chips. It’s all about moderation. Everything in moderation, including moderation itself.

BREWER'S TIP
If in doubt, just split the malt bill in two and do a double mash. Mash and collect, clean out and mash and collect again. Don’t even bother sparging – you don’t want any more water in there. Keep the fermentation a little warmer than usual 21 - 23°C, and don’t panic if it takes a month to ferment...
