25+one
Oak, bourbon and some chocolate come through as it warms. Brewed to mark Left Hand's 25th anniversary, this Russian imperial stout rested for a year in four oak barrels, a blend of bourbon, rye whiskey, rum and brandy casks, and it reaches 14.5 % ABV. It is sold as a single bottle and made for a tulip glass.
