Whisky Barrel Aged White Stout (2026)
Pale in the glass but built like a stout, with coffee, cacao nibs and vanilla added rather than dark malt used to get there. The result is dessert-like without the roast bitterness: vanilla and milk chocolate up front, coffee behind, and oak and whisky warmth from the barrel. At six and a half percent it is by far the lightest beer in the vintage range.
