A blend of our 129th brew, a rich American style Imperial Stout, aged in Ardbeg Whisky barrels for 12 months, and fresh Imperial Stout. Delicious to drink now, but will mature gracefully over time.

7fiddy at level 42. It pours black with a thick tan head. The aroma is rich roasted, rocky road, tar, medicinal, smoked, chocolate, millionaires shortbread, fudge, toffee and fruity whisky. The taste is slick, rich roasted malt, chewy action, bitter - sweet, rocky road, dark chocolate, warming, medicinal, leather, smoke, spice, fruity whisky and some warming alcohol through the finish. Full body and moderate, foamy carabontion. Rich and decadent. Tasty.

Bottle split at L42, thanks to the team, 09/02/17. Black with a decent tan cap. Nose is chocolate, spice, light hop notes, charr, roast malts , fruit cake. Taste comprises mellow fruits, subtle enough Ardbeg, black peppery spice, chocolate, toffee. Full bodied, fine carbonation, drying close with a rising boost. Decent BA impy.

Bottle from the dregs run delivery. Thanks Craig! Pours black with a thin tan head. Aromas of chocolate, coffee, faint wood. Barrel presence is very low in this one. Faint smoke. A nice stout though.
