Our beloved peated stout is back for its eleventh incarnation! Black Lung XI has arrived! Black Lung is all about brewing the biggest, booziest and smokiest stout possible and popping it into really, really, ridiculously delicious barrels and this year is absolutely no exception. For this year's barrels we’ve gone with an American cult classic from a very well-known Tennessee Whiskey producer...we’ll leave the guess work up to you! These Tennessee Whiskey barrels have given our eleventh Black Lung a distinct smooth and okay flavour and, in keeping with tradition, a seriously shmokin’ finish!

Bottle. Black with an inch of tan head that fades to a 1/2cm. There's stout under sweet whiskey (gosh, what could it be?) but it smells overmatched. Smooth, almost oily body. Plenty of whiskey and it is sweet, but the stout fights back: mocha, roast, some seaweed, hints of spices. Oddly, no oak. Warming but no really overt alcohol. In recent years, Moon Dog have found the way to make their big beers involving but drinkable - this is another one. But for me the barrels were too wet.
