Imperial Wheat Stout with Coffee & Cacao

Roaster: Climpson & Sons Coffee

Coffee: Brazil – The Baron

The inspiration for Breakfast Shake came from brewer Sams 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 its more akin to a Siren Imperial Stout. There are 13 different speciality malts in the grist. Weve added cacao husks for deep, ultra-dark chocolate flavours along with cacao nibs for creamy milk-chocolate. Climpson & Sons Brasil Espresso is a beautifully rounded roast and adds a real nuttiness to proceedings.
