Islay Whisky Cask Beer
Spicy woodsmoke, peat, sea salt and burnt toffee come through from the oak, joined by a rich, roasted flavour from the beer itself. This Scottish red ale matures in casks of a ten-year-old Islay single malt, then spends three weeks in second-fill Port casks of the kind used to finish that whisky. The island inspired it. 7.4 % ABV.
