The beer has been designed and created by our Lead Brewer Riina Lääts, who joined us 12 months ago, after previously brewing for Estonia’s Sori Brewing. After working closely on developing and tightening the core range with Sam and I, Anthology has been Riinas opportunity to express her brewing prowess on a more personal level. Anthology weighs in at 10% ABV with the recipe showcasing 6 different malts, healthy additions of Chinook hops and the addition of cacao nibs adding profoundly bittersweet chocolate notes. Anthology features intense flavours of dark chocolate, hints of licorice and vinous notes of dark stone fruit, which lead to a lingeringly bitter finish. Our in-house designer Simon McCoy is responsible for the striking artwork that adorns the label, his first I asked Riina to share a few words, on the thought behind Anthology. “As the nights have started drawing in and we begin to head to the cosiest pubs possible it seemed a deep, velvety imperial stout was the only option! The style also lends itself to being regularly reworked for each annual edition and the scope for twisted spin-offs is endless. All of the guys here are already pitching their ideas for next years version, so watch this space...” Anthology will become an annually released beer, launched each year in the late autumn. Future releases will also include barrel-aged versions, as some of this year’s batch has been put aside for maturation in oak. 2017 has been a good year for new beers coming out of our Leyton home and Anthology is the pinnacle of our brewing expression. Everyone in the team has excitedly observed the beers development and we now can’t wait to share it with the world. This is a beer that should be shared with friends while listening to a classic record, or better still aged for future enjoyment.
