ZEAL.
Built on the double barrel-aged base of the fourth beer in the annual Lambda series, ZEAL blends three recipes aged 18 months in barrels, followed by another 16 months in one further barrel. Gesha beans from Colombia, Peruvian cacao nibs and Indonesian vanilla join in, and chocolate and cacao notes stand out in this 15.3% imperial stout.
