We are excited to introduce our newest product - Imperial Stout Vinegar!
This hard-to-find kitchen ingredient powerhouse provides an intense aroma and rich, layered tangy flavour to your meals - think dark chocolate, roasted coffee, caramel and dark fruits.
Since it's first limited release at the Festival of Flavours, Vankleek Hill and Autumn Harvest Market, Cumberland - where it sold out! - our Imperial Stout Vinegar is now available at our retailers.

What's so special about our Imperial Stout Vinegar?
Imperial stout is a bigger, bolder, higher-alcohol (above 8% ABV) and more intense version of standard stout. It was brewed with 2X the amount of tasty, all natural ingredients to withstand the long journey to the Russian Imperial Court. A rare gem that we celebrate today with a golden crown on our label. While this traditional process is more costly, we think the expense is worth the reward - an outstanding dark stout with phenomenal character and taste. We partnered with Wellington Brewery, (Guelph, Ontario) to source their Imperial Stout so that Ian could work his vinegar making magic to bring you this treat. He insisted that his vinegar be 100% natural with no additives of any kind. This is in stark contrast to popular commercial malt vinegars laced with sweeteners (corn syrup) or food coloring (dark caramel).

Imperial Stout vinegar means next level cooking
- Umami-rich dishes: when sautéing mushrooms, add a splash to the pan to deepen and amplify their earthy flavours. 
- Seafood: use Imperial Stout vinegar's tanginess to balance the oiliness in fried or baked fish. 
- Sauce flavour base: use like aged balsamic or Chinese Black vinegar to provide a rich, layered and tangy flavour to marinades, sauces (oh dumpling dipping sauce!) or Caprese or bean salad dressings for a zesty kick. 
- Beef stew: transform a hearty cold weather beef and root veg stew with a 1/4 cup of Imperial Stout vinegar instead of your regular Guinness. 

So, put on your crown and cook like royalty - enjoy the unique taste of St Eugène Vinegar's latest offering!
