We All Scream

Tap to rate

We All Scream is a blended imperial stout modelled on Neapolitan ice cream, first bottled in 2022 and brewed again for 2025. Imperial stouts aged in bourbon, rye whiskey and port barrels form the base, finished with strawberries, cacao nibs and Madagascar vanilla beans. Dark chocolate comes first, followed by ripe strawberry and vanilla; the port barrels add a red-fruit, vinous note. The body is rich and sweet, with a light tartness from the fruit and noticeable alcohol warmth at the end.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for We All Scream

◎ Appearance

Opaque, nearly black in color with a deep brown edge when held to light. A dense, tan foam head forms on the pour and persists with good retention, leaving thick lacing down the glass. Carbonation is moderate, appropriate for the style's weight and alcohol content.

◌ Aroma

Dark chocolate dominates the nose, layered with ripe red-fruit notes from the port barrel aging. Beneath lies Madagascar vanilla and subtle cocoa, with a gentle alcohol warmth noticeable at the rim. The strawberry contribution emerges on longer nosing, adding brightness to the darker, more wine-forward base.

Entry is rich and full-bodied, with prominent dark chocolate and cacao nib character. Mid-palate reveals a ripe strawberry sweetness and smooth vanilla oak, while the port barrel aging contributes a dry, slightly tannic red-wine quality. Bitterness is measured at 65 IBU, providing structure without harshness, while the sweetness remains present throughout the palate.

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.

Can be cellared 2–5 years. Develops dark fruit, leather and port-like complexity with age.
