Imperial Wheat Stout with Coffee & Cacao
Roaster: Climpson & Sons Coffee
Coffee: Brazil - The Baron
The inspiration for Breakfast Shake came from brewer Sam’s favourite morning smoothie - blending coffee, honey, cocoa powder, almonds and banana. Our Breakfast Shake takes some of those flavours, re-worked from the ground up, to develop a showcase coffee beer. Rather than adding banana, we chose to use a classic German wheat beer yeast - Weihenstephaner - to offer those notes. This technically makes it a Dark Wheat beer or Dunkel Weiss, but yeast aside it’s more akin to a Siren Imperial Stout. There are 13 different speciality malts in the grist. We’ve added cacao husks for deep, ultra-dark chocolate flavours along with cacao nibs for creamy milk-chocolate. Climpson & Son’s Brasil Espresso is a beautifully rounded roast and adds a real nuttiness to proceedings.
