This Imperial Rye Stout is a bold expression of our barrel aged program, where innovation meets craft. Infused with green cardamom pods and dried figs, this stout begins its journey with vibrant, aromatic spices before resting for 25 months in White Moscatel and Bourbon casks.

The result? A rich and complex flavour profile where star anise, succulent fig, and the lively warmth of cardamom dominate the palate. Subtle notes of vanilla and peach from the barrels add layers of refinement and balance, elevating every sip. Crafted with precision and aged to perfection, this stout is a standout in our collection—bold, intricate, and unforgettable.
