Badass British imperial stout. Our latest Cornish Creatives collaboration and the darkest beer we've ever made with close to 40% speciality malts. No adjuncts. No pastry. Loads of layered roasted barley and crystal malts on a bed of UK Munich and Golden Promise. Full on flavours of dark chocolate, black coffee and juicy berries.
As we plough headlong into the winter season it feels appropriate to release a big Russian imperial stout! And what better way than to showcase the photography and cinematography skills of Andy Lawrence than as part of our Cornish Creatives series with 6 alternate labels that capture the mesmerising and partially unexplained phenomenon of starling murmurations. We've combined dark and uncompromising beer with Andy's startling starling imagery to create Seldom Often, an 8.5% departure from our signature hop-forward offerings.
Based in the far west of Cornwall, Andy produces some amazing visual work for the likes of Nike, Adidas and M&S to name but a few. He sent us some of his personal work focusing on the murmurations of starlings and we fell in love instantly.
The labels come in a series of 6 images, with one of those being of a starling that Andy found injured and then passed away. He had a taxidermist set him in flight and he lives in their apartment. The picture is a "portrait" he shot during lockdown.
