Don’t let the lower case fool you, iStout is big, bold, and now barrel-aged. We’ve taken our iconic imperial stout and let it rest in whisky barrels, layering in smooth, dried fruit depth and a warm kick. Expect rich waves of roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and oak, lifted by a punchy bitterness and bold hop character.

Can. Never been excited by iStout but have loved some variants. Black, a 1/2cm tan head. Roasty with dark/ singed sugars, mocha, oak and other hints of whisky. Silky, lowish carbonation. Firm roast, Welsh Cakes, berry reduction, oaked whisky, a fair bit of bitterness. The whisky adds a lot but is still a supporting player.
