Murrays Wild Thing Whisky Imperial Stout

TASTING NOTES

The original Murray’s cult beer, ‘Wild Thing’ Imperial Stout, is a massive, intense drinking experience inspired by the great stouts favoured by the Russian Imperial Court. The colour is intensely black. The flavour is an intense hit of mocha with some malt sweetness but an aggressive hop bitterness and roast grain bite to balance.10% abv.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Murray and the team have been brewing unique and off-beat naturally crafted beers since 2006, and in the process have won a bunch of awards and accolades including Australia’s Brewer of the Year last year. The craft beer bug bit Murray a few years before this, when he was on a trip to America. Legend has it that he tried a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale at a roadside diner in California and thought he’d died and gone to beer heaven! This experience inspired him to open his own brewery so he could brew and enjoy the beers he wanted to drink back home in Australia.

DID YOU KNOW?

The birthplace of Murray’s Craft Brewing Co was the tiny hamlet of Taylors Arm (population 50) on the NSW North Coast. Murray bought the iconic Pub With No Beer (of Slim Dusty fame) and quickly solved the supply problem by installing a microbrewery on site.
