Named after famed Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, this imperial stout is made in small batches, then lagered for 10 days in German oak casks. Hercule is considered by many to be a classic - it is very malty but dry, with a hint of sweetness in the finish, and perfectly hopped. It has a very distinctive and intoxicating spicy aroma of fresh spruce that fills the room when the swing-top is released. This unique house character derives from the strains of yeast used by the brewery and the fermentation in oak.
