Hope Barrel Aged Export Stout
This is the brewery's export stout at 8.0%, matured in casks that previously held an Irish rum finished in single malt wood. Roasted coffee and dark chocolate lead the aroma, with dried fruit and vanilla beneath them. From the barrels come quieter touches of caramel, nutmeg and oak. The beer refers to the strong stouts once shipped to the Caribbean, a connection the rum casks carry a step further.
