Patience is key here.
This imperial stout was aged for many months in carefully selected French oak ex-red wine barrels, which previously held single malt whisky from Starward distillery.
Roasty chocolate and hazelnut overtones meld with sweet vanilla, oak, toast and a mild bitterness with a warming finish.
