Introduction

Terra Nocturne is our interpretation of the classic imperial stout — bold, dark, and thoughtfully aged. Matured carefully to allow flavours to integrate and mellow, this beer marries roasted grain intensity with barrel nuance and a warming finish. It’s rich without being heavy, complex without being overwhelming.

Flavour Profile

This imperial stout presents layered flavours of dark chocolate, espresso roast, black treacle, and deep roasted barley. Barrel influence adds soft oak and subtle vanilla character, while rounded dark fruit notes give a hint of complexity without harshness. The finish is warm, coating, and contemplative.

How It Was Made

Terra Nocturne begins as a robust stout designed to carry rich flavours and higher alcohol with balance. Extended ageing — whether in oak or a controlled maturation program — allows the rich profile to smooth and harmonise.

Process highlights

• High grain bill tailored for body and roast depth
• Extended maturation for rounds and integration
• Bottle conditioned to develop texture and cohesion

Why it matters: The combination of robust grain character and extended maturity creates layers that develop both on the palate and over time — rewarding careful drinking and thoughtful moments.
