Into The 'Wood Whiskey Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
An imperial stout rested in solera rye whiskey barrels from a Melbourne distillery. Dark chocolate and espresso come first, with oak, vanilla and a warming whiskey note laid over them by the barrel. The body is full and the finish long, sweet at the edges and warming rather than sharply roasted. Bottled at 10 per cent as part of the brewery's barrel series.
