A collision of the boundless black depths of imperial stout and the thick, moreish viscosity of a barleywine! Aged in ex-whisky barrels, flavours of coffee, caramel, and toffee come together to knock your boots clean off. Just remember to come back to earth when you’re done.
Enjoy now or cellar it for a rainy day. Even better, treat yourself to this one and grab a second for future you. Future you will be stoked.

From a 440ml can on 2/6/2026. Pours a deepest brown with a smallish tan head that disappears quickly. There's lots of whisky on the nose, with some dark chocolate, caramel and dried fruit. Tastes of caramel, toffee and chocolate with lots of dried and dark fruit. Finishes with a firmish bitterness with just a touch of roastiness and a big dollop of whisky booze. Has a syrupy mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. A truly wonderful, complex, big winter sipper.
