One of Britain's greatest imperial stouts — aged in bourbon barrels, outrageously complex.

What makes Buxton Yellow Belly Imperial Stout distinctive?

Buxton Brewery's Yellow Belly Imperial Stout has achieved near-mythical status in UK craft beer circles. Brewed to 11% ABV and aged in Bourbon barrels (with annual variants sometimes using other casks), it delivers extraordinary complexity: dark chocolate, bourbon vanilla, coffee, dried fruit, and a warming boozy richness that rewards slow sipping. Released in limited quantities, bottles sell out within minutes online. The brewery, operating from the Peak District spa town of Buxton, has quietly become one of the most technically accomplished in Britain. For those who love imperial stouts — or who want to understand why people queue online at midnight to buy beer — Yellow Belly is the reference point.
