Imperial Madiba
Imperial Madiba is a dark, top-fermented imperial porter. Coffee and chocolate lead the aroma, joined by forest berries. The body is medium to full with a certain smoothness, and the bitterness remains light, so the roast character reads as rounded rather than harsh. Set beside Madiba Stout it brings the berry note, a fuller palate and considerably more alcohol.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink within 6–12 months for best results. Baltic Porters can be aged longer.
