Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Milk Stout with Coconut & Vanilla.
Life is our 10% abv Bourbon Barrel Aged Milk Stout that spent 12 months in the best Bourbon barrels, it is then intensively infused with freshly roasted Coconut and open Vanilla pods. A terrific flavour combination resulting in a full bodied, rounded Imperial Stout with tropical notes from the Coconut and beautiful Vanilla aromas, all wrapped in Bourbon warmth for a luxurious drinking experience.
