8.3% Double Stout Aged In Rum And Cognac Barrels.
Named after the famous cocktail, Between the Sheets started as a bold double stout which we knew would be perfect for barrel ageing and the chance to experiment. We aged half in Caribbean Rum barrels and half in Cognac barrels for 9 months before blending back together. This has created a wonderfully unique beer, with the characters of both spirits pleasantly intertwining with notes of dried fruit, muscovado sugar and oak.

Bottle. Beer box, probably. Clear dark brown. Very decent thick lasting beige foam. Toasted malts. Charred wood. Touch of soy. Sweet vine fruit. Taste is sweet up front. Some charred fruit bitterness. Nicely slick mouthfeel at the relatively low ABV, with fine foamy carbonation. Bit of a charred pineapple bitterness to finish. Thornbridge are good at stuff like this.
