We took our Imperial stout 'Impish or Admirable?' and split it into four parts, keeping one as it was and the other three lucky beggars were chosen to be barrel aged. This particular batch was aged in an Islay whiskey barrel for around four months to achieve a lovely depth of peated smoke and complexity.

Bottle from the Farm Yard Ales online shop. Black pour with a thin tan head. Peat,smoke,charred wood, oak aromas. Quite a medicinal nose. Taste is dark fruit, lots of smoke, peat, light coffee, liquorice toffee. Smoky, dry peaty finish. Complex tasty brew.
