A collaboration with Omnipollo, known for their uncanny ability to repilcate dessert flavours in indulgent beers. This caramel and pecan flavoured imperial stout has been barrel aged for almost a year in whisky casks, to add an extra level of depth to the pecan mud pie concept.
Dont be too quick to rack the beer off the yeast once your final gravity is reached. The stressed yeast will be absorbing a number of undesirable fermentation by-products such as acetaldehyde and diacetyl. Give them a minimum of 10 days at fermentation temperature to do this before cooling it down.

Dog E is a very special beer. This beer commemorates our 9th year in 2016. This beer originally appeared as AB:04 in 2010, perhaps the most sought after beer we ever brewed. Dog E is a 16.1% Imperial Stout brewed with copious amounts of dark malts, pure cacao and coffee, balanced by the subtle addition of naga chili, and barrel-aged. Perfect for ageing in your cellar, or drinking fresh if youre lucky enough to get your paws on a bottle.
With stronger styles (like imperial stouts), feel free to cellar your beer and try a bottle every few months to see how the flavours have developed often the beer picks up new, incredible flavours.

Dog G is a benchmark in liquid form; our 11th anniversary beer. A 17% imperial stout brewed with a compelling mix of dark malts, chillies, cacao and coffee - to make it a true milestone we then decided to age Dog G in rye whiskey barrels.
Age this beer!!! Often it will pick up new incredible flavours after an extended cellaring. Think 2 years plus.

Hinterland is a beer long in the creation, and even longer in the appreciation. On the aroma, deep reverberating roasty bitterness and sweet dark chocolate. Also in evidence, woodsmoke, rich vanilla, mocha and marzipan. When tasting, Hinterland reveals itself as the beer moves from cellar temperature to something warmer, yielding all of the above plus dried fruit, rich ganache and ending on a resoundingly warming nish redolent of chocolate liqueur or plum brandy. Aged in Bourbon Casks.
Towards the end of the fermentation allow the temperature to free rise. This will let the yeast finish off the fermentation and scour off-flavours from the beer.

Dog D is an extra special brew, marking 8 years of BrewDog. Like Dog A, B & C before it, Dog D is an Imperial Stout with speciality ingredients, only this time weve barrel-aged it too. Dog D pours like dark matter into your glass, with a deep tan head. The nose is subtle but powerful, and on the palate, theres a treacle toffee backbone, supporting the spicy hop flavour and naga chilli heat.
Steep the coffee in the hot wort for short periods to get the best extraction of aromatic oils, without gaining too much bitterness.

Make sure you can get the coffee, cocoa and chillies out of the beer when the flavours are right.

BrewDog vs Amundsen. One of a series of collaborations with European craft breweries, aimed at promoting engagement and market growth. With Norwegian craft brewers Amundsen, we are creating a mash-up of two existing beers, resulting in a coffee, chocolate and marshmallow Russian Imperial Stout.
If your mash run off takes a long time, increase the temperature of your sparge water to keep the mash bed warm and permeable.

In 2006 James and Martin hijacked a beer dinner run by Michael Jackson, the acclaimed beer and whisky writer, and convinced him to taste one of their home brews. This was a defining moment in BrewDog prehistory, and that beer was the first incarnation of the ubiquitous Paradox. Aged in a variety of casks over the years, Paradox is dark, decadent and encapsulating. Can be enjoyed fresh; phenomenal when aged.
The beauty of this beer is in how brilliantly it lends itself to infusing or ageing. Experiment with different additions when the beer is ageing, taste it regularly to gauge its progress, and make sure you package it at its peak.

Paradox. Reloaded. In 2011 we put Paradox into high gear to create an Imperial Stout destined for ageing. Loaded with dark roasted malts for a full bodied, toasted background, an array of bitter, earthy and resinous hops, and brewed with oats for a bold mouthfeel. This beer is the perfect canvas for barrel ageing.
Allow the fermentation to go as far as possible. Soak oak chips in whisky to get the barrel aged characteristic.

Brew this as part of a parti gyle mash, making this beer from your first runnings. It will take a long time to run off and be prepared to add dextrose to reach your target OG.

A triple whammy of coffee from HasBean gives our 17th Abstrakt concept beer an intense and roasty, dark mocha character. We brewed with espresso in the mash, cafetiere in the boil, and whole roast beans in the whirlpool and the fermenter.
Use freshly ground coffee for the best aromatic hit.

This Cranachan Imperial Stout was inspired by the famous Scottish dessert, and brewed with a mountain of dark malts, loads of oats, Scottish heather honey and local raspberries. The beer was then transferred to oak casks to mature for 6 months.
Lactose - or milk sugar - is un-fermentable. It adds a creamy mouthfeel to the beer. Experiment by using different types of honey for altered flavour profiles.

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. Its all about moderation. Everything in moderation, including moderation itself...
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. Dont even bother sparging you dont want any more water in there. Keep the fermentation a little warmer than usual 21 - 23°C, and dont panic if it takes a month to ferment...

This beer is about pushing the boundaries, it is about taking innovation in beer to a whole new level. Dark and decadent, plum, treacle and roast coffee are amplified beyond any stout you've had before.
This level of alcohol can be achieved using a domestic freezer. Use a container with a tap close to the bottom so you can run the un-frozen, concentrated beer from under the ice on top. You may have to do this three or four times.

Brewed with our Equity Punks this rich, smooth stout is brewed with a blend of six malts, resulting in a welcoming, resonant black beer. From start to finish it carries an intense roastiness reminiscent of dark chocolate intertwined with a delicate hint of coconut and caramel.
Lightly toast the coconut chips to allow better interaction with the hot wort.

An early Cocoa Psycho recipe that we loved, but didn't fit what we were looking for. We locked this chocolate coffee stout away in barrels for two years, imparting toasted marshmallow, spicy vanilla, molasses and boozy warmth.
There is a huge amount of roasted malts in this grist. Be careful not to pulverise the malt into powder during the milling process.
