Dog E
Ninth Anniversary Imperial Stout.
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 you’re 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.
