De Cowboy
Named after Cowboy Paul, who once drove containers across Europe: a peated imperial stout with 12 %, thick as dripping and loaded with roast and caramel malt. Smoke and peat run through it, chocolate and coffee sit underneath, and a light bitterness and a touch of pepper complete the picture.
