Step 1: Taste the beers separately
You have three different triple mash Imperial Stouts, each with a unique addition: cocoa nibs from Ghana, Ugandan vanilla and Hawaiian coconut.
Step 2: Prepare your Trifecta glass
Use the specially designed Trifecta glass for better integration of aroma and flavour. Make sure it is thoroughly clean.
Step 3: Experiment with mixing
Then start mixing small amounts to discover your ideal balance. Try equal parts or not equal to emphasise chocolate, for example, or vanilla, or coconut.

Sometimes you have people in the beer industry who think the same way as you do. Or as the famous slogan of Dogfish Head (Delaware, America) goes: Great people drink alike. So do the brewers of Folkingebrew and Bravoure.
In 2023, Folkingebrew, Bravoure and Frontaal put their heads together for the first time on behalf of the three breweries and brewed the first Imperial Stout on our brand new brewing equipment. The result was an absolute monster of a beer, almost so thick you could eat it with a spoon.
Anno 2025, we launched the third edition in the series: Trifecta.
An Imperial Stout is a powerful and dark beer style characterised by its rich flavour and high alcohol content, often between 8% and 12%, but sometimes even higher. It was originally brewed for the Russian tsarist family in the 18th century and was known for its intensity and depth of flavour.
Imperial Stouts have a deep, dark colour, often black, and a flavour profile that ranges from roasted coffee and chocolate to sweeter notes of caramel and dried fruit. The use of many (different) malts creates a full, firm body. A slight bitterness is also often experienced through the hops, which is balanced with the sweeter flavours. An imperial stout is often very suitable for post-ripening, both in bottle and canned, which increases the complexity of the beer over time. It is a favourite for lovers of beers with more character.
