Wort for Terra Tempo

The pilot plant was in action today for a rare treat, creating the wort for a 14% Imperial Stout for friend and fellow-brewer Terra Tempo, based here at the brewery.

Seven different malts, including Chocolate and Oats, go into this 100% solar-brewed beer, alongside some of our home-grown English Cascade hops.

But it’s going to take another 4 weeks for the beer to naturally ferment in the cold January temperatures, before the whole pecans and pistachios, vanilla and cacao nibs are added.

Expect a jet black, silky smooth, full-bodied drinking experience, with complex notes of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, caramel and subtle hints of vanilla and nut, finishing with a balanced bitterness.

One to savour!

Did you know?

Imperial stout is one of the richest and strongest beer styles.  Originally brewed by the major porter brewers in London as an “extra stout” porter, it was exported to the Baltic countries and Russia in the late 18^th century. Imperial stout or Russian Imperial stout was so called because it was drunk at the imperial court of Catherine the Great, Empress of Russia.
