A robust malt bill of barley, wheat and rye gives this imperial stout a complex, flavourful base. Seven months spent in a second use oak barrel offer gentle notes of vanilla and chocolate to compliment the tobacco, charred rye bread and rich dark fruit notes that swirl throughout.

Poured from 500mL bottle (bottled July 2022). Near black with full beige head. Oak and tobacco, mild rye and roast malt underlie, hint of char, decent.

500mL bottle, pours black with a medium tan head. Aroma is pretty earthy, with a subdued roasted malt bill and a touch of oak. Flavour is very oak-forward, with plenty of woody oak, some vanillin, and moderate roast. On the drier side, but there's enough sweetness to balance that oak. Really nice barrel character her. Excellent.

Botella. Dark brown. Thin head. Fruity, figgy, molasses sort of aroma. I should have been less surprised, since all S&O impies lean English-style. Some toasty demerara here, too. Some burnt molasses and charred fruitcake notes to this. Plenty of alcohol in the finish.
