BORN TOMORROW

◎ Appearance

Born Tomorrow presents an opaque, pitch-black body with minimal light transmission, characteristic of a heavily roasted Imperial Stout. A thin, mocha-tinted head forms and recedes quickly, leaving delicate Schaumkleiden along the glass. The beer sits still and dense, showing the weight of 30 months in wood and the intensity of its dark Malz foundation.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with rolling waves of coastal peat smoke, immediately announcing the Laphroaig whisky cask influence. Beneath the smoke sit layers of dark chocolate, espresso, and dried stone fruit—plum and raisin—which emerge as the beer warms. Subtle vanilla and oak frame the profile without obscuring the briny, maritime character that distinguishes this blend.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and richly layered, with roasted Malz and bittersweet cocoa forming the core structure. Pronounced smokiness weaves throughout, balanced by warming alcohol at 12.3% ABV. Vanilla and subtle oak add refinement and prevent the intensity from becoming harsh; the 65 IBU bitterness integrates seamlessly rather than dominating.

◑ Finish

The finish is long and memorably smoky, with the coastal peat character persisting on the palate and in the throat. A warming, slightly drying aftertaste lingers, leaving notes of dark chocolate and smoke that evolve over several minutes.

Slightly warmer than you might expect. 10–13°C lets the roasted malt, chocolate and coffee notes open up fully.

The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
