To celebrate Hammertons 10 years of brewing, we blended an imperial stout with our 2022 vintage, which had been sitting in a variety of different Speyside Scotch barrels for 20 months, with the oldest having a 21 YO scotch in it. 9 different malt varieties were used, the result on the nose is chocolate, scotch and dark winter fruit with a luxurious body and a dry finish.

Note the commercial artwork states Bourbon Barrel but the actual can is labelled Scotch Barrel.

Ootasin, et ei ole pastry.. maitseb nagupastry. Magus, vaadine, pähklivõine, vaniljene, suhkrune, alkone (arvestades väidetavat abv-d, lausa mega alkone). See maitseb nagu teeb purju.. ok, aga ootasin midagi muud.

440ml can from Left Field Beer, Solihull. Poured almost black in colour with a mostly lasting frothy tan head. The aroma is roasty and chocolate. The flavour is moderate liquorice bitter light sweet, with a smooth, roasty, light chocolate, dry oaky, light warm boozy alcohol bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not as rich or indeed as boozy as I’d hoped for, but a great beer all the same.
