The High and Mighty Oaked Imperial Ale Beer Kit lives up to its name offering a brewing experience that delivers bold and complex flavors. With its towering 11% ABV, this imperial ale is perfect for brewers who appreciate a strong, full-bodied beer with a rich flavor profile. The combination of malts and oak aging results in a beer that stands out for its balance of sweetness and depth.
At the core of this brew is a blend of Pale Ale Dry Malt Extract, complemented by Bonlander Munich Malt, Caramel Malt, and Briess Special Roast Malt. The result is a brew that exudes smooth caramel, toffee, and a touch of dark fruit flavors. These malt notes are enhanced by the Belgian Candi Syrup and the addition of oak cubes during secondary fermentation, contributing a subtle vanilla and tannin character that further enriches the beer’s complexity.
The hop additions of Magnum Hops, Fuggle Hops, and East Kent Goldings Hops lend a mild bitterness to balance the malt sweetness, while the 50 IBU provides a subtle hop presence that doesn’t overpower the drink. This balance allows the oak and malt flavors to shine through, offering a sophisticated beer that’s both smooth and assertive.
This beer kit is ideal for those who enjoy a well-crafted, high-gravity ale that’s both rich and bold. The oak infusion ensures a complex layering of flavors, making each sip a truly enjoyable experience. Whether you’re brewing for the first time or are an experienced brewer, the High and Mighty Oaked Imperial Ale Beer Kit provides the perfect balance of flavors and complexity to satisfy your brewing aspirations.
