The Kernel Imperial Brown Stout 1856 - Clapton Craft
£5.60
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.

Imperial Brown Stout, London 1856, 9.6% (330ml) - The kernel
Sin Stock
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.
Drink now for freshness and roast. Drink later for roundness and harmony.
