Imperial Brown Stout, London 1856, 9.6% (12 x 330ml) - The kernel 
£60.50
From London, 1856 – a stout drawn from the Barclay Perkins brewing records, brewed again in Bermondsey.
This Imperial Brown Stout is based on a historical recipe from the Barclay Perkins archive. It’s the style that would eventually evolve into the Russian Imperial Stout, and this particular version became the basis for the Courage RIS – one of the last remaining links to a once-vital London brewing tradition. That lineage ended in 1992. We brew this beer in homage to that legacy.
Despite the name, it pours black, not brown – language shifts, but flavour stays rooted. Beer Details Style: Imperial Brown Stout Size: 12x330ml Malt: Maris Otter, Amber, Brown, Black Hops: Magnum Yeast: Our house ale yeast (California Ale) Tasting Notes
Don’t be fooled by the 9.6% ABV – this isn’t a brute. Instead, it’s smooth and rounded, with a soft texture and depth that builds. Aromas of cocoa lead into flavours of cream, dark chocolate, and dried fruit. There’s plum, a touch of sour berry, and a long, satisfying finish of herbal bitterness and lightly roasted coffee.
It's a beer that references history but is made to drink now. Why You’ll Love It
A piece of London brewing heritage, revived from the Barclay Perkins archive.
Bold but balanced – rich flavours without overwhelming intensity.
Smooth and drinkable despite the imperial strength.
Complex layers of chocolate, fruit, roast and bitterness that evolve in the glass. Cellaring Notes
This beer is built to age. Over time, you can expect the bitterness to soften, the fruit to deepen, and more integration across the malt layers. Ideal for storing in a cool, dark place for a year or more.
Drink now for freshness and roast. Drink later for roundness and harmony. Order a Case
This is a 12 x 330ml bottle case of Imperial Brown Stout, London 1856 – brewed at 9.6% ABV, with a nod to the past and a flavour rooted in the present.

A recipe from the Barclay Perkins archive. The Imperial Brown Stouts developed into what became known as the Russian Imperial Stouts, and this particular recipe developed into the Courage RIS, which is most notable because a) it was an excellent beer, and b) it continued to be produced until 1992, as the only surviving link to a certain brewing tradition that was huge in London, and made London famous, for over 200 years. And of course, a tradition which is now dead here.
This is not a beast of a beer, despite the abv. It is round and smooth. Gentle. Well behaved. You could introduce it happily to your mother-in-law. All cream and chocolate after the cocoa aroma, then leading to dark fruits, dried fruits, raisin, fig, prune. Even plum. Some sour berries. And the longest finish of herbal bitterness, with hints of lightly roasted coffee.

£5.60
A single bottle of our Imperial Brown Stout, brewed from an 1856 Barclay Perkins recipe.
This is the stout that eventually became known as the Russian Imperial Stout – and more specifically, the base for Courage RIS, a beer that carried London’s brewing legacy through to the 1990s. We’ve revived the original form, not as a recreation, but as a continuation.
Despite the name, this beer is very much black. Language moves on. The flavour stays. Beer Details Style: Imperial Brown Stout Size: 330ml Malt: Maris Otter, Amber, Brown, Black Hops: Magnum Yeast: House ale yeast (California Ale) Tasting Notes
Smooth and rounded, not aggressive – even at 9.6% ABV. Cocoa on the nose, followed by cream, chocolate, dark fruit, and a touch of plum and sour berry. The finish is long, with herbal bitterness and just enough light roast to hold it all together.
Drink it slowly. Let it open. Why You’ll Love It
A direct link to London’s 19th-century stout brewing tradition.
Full-bodied without heaviness – rich, layered, and refined.
Perfect for sipping or cellaring. Cellaring Notes
This beer is built to age. Over time, you can expect the bitterness to soften, the fruit to deepen, and more integration across the malt layers. Ideal for storing in a cool, dark place for a year or more.

The Imperial Brown Stouts developed into what became known as the Russian Imperial Stouts, and this particular recipe developed into the Courage RIS, which is most notable because a) it was an excellent beer, and b) it continued to be produced until 1992, as the only surviving link to a certain brewing tradition that was huge in London, and made London famous, for over 200 years. And of course, a tradition which has now been lost. And the beer is black, not brown. Dark black. And round and smooth. Gentle. Coffee and cocoa aroma, then leading to dark fruits, dried fruits, raisin, fig, prune. Even plum. Some sour berries. Through the long finish of hop bitterness entwined with roast and char.
