Buxton have created this brooding, heavyweight stout, crammed with intense, deep-roast specialty malts. A recipe 8 months in the making with multiple edits before the brewers were happy to proceed, in the end they found it a delight to make.

Says it’s 11.5% but mine was 10%…not sure why! Either way, this packed a punch! Smooth and treacly, definitely worth a punt.

Lovely stuff, big brooding imperial stout. Thick, pitch black and full of rick dark malts, this is a proper impy, no adjuncts, just very very good.

Rain Shadow is always on the very top of the game. Each year, it's one of the best impy stouts made in the UK. 2019 was no difference.
