Black Magic
Full malt and complex roasty flavour fill this jet-black imperial stout of 10%. Twelve malts and no adjuncts go in; the strength comes from a six-hour boil, which also gives the thick mouthfeel. Hops are Northern Brewer and Columbus. The 2026 Special Edition came from long brew days at the Muifelbrouwerij.
