The first year of our Elegance Series. Barrel aged beers without anything to hide behind, no adjuncts or blending just the beer and the barrel!
This year we we made an Imperial Stout on Cognac barrels. A lovely match of malt comlexity and sweetness of the stout with some fruity and acid Cognac notes.
Cheers! And don't forget to check out the Elegance '24 Bourbon as well!
