High Ground

About this beer

A decadent and intensely flavourful Coffee and Caramel Imperial Stout from Emperor's Brewery, inspired by the dramatic confrontation on the volcanic planet Mustafar. High Ground combines an imposing 12% ABV with a carefully selected blend of Colombian, Guatemalan and Brazilian coffees, creating a rich and expressive drinking experience. The three coffee origins contribute a smooth, layered coffee character, bringing together nutty and fruity qualities that complement the beer's substantial roasted malt foundation. Powerful chocolate notes emerge alongside the coffee, adding depth and richness before a luscious wave of creamy caramel rounds out the flavour profile. The grain bill incorporates malted barley, wheat malt and flaked oats, supporting a substantial body and smooth mouthfeel. Maltodextrin, golden syrup and dextrose contribute to the beer's carefully constructed foundation, while natural flavouring helps develop its distinctive dessert-inspired character. The combination delivers a complex balance of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, nutty richness and indulgent caramel sweetness. At 12% ABV, High Ground is a powerful Imperial Stout best enjoyed slowly, offering a warming and satisfying experience that celebrates Emperor's Brewery's enthusiasm for bold flavours, imaginative themes and richly layered dark beers.
