Claddagh Scotch Whisky Barrel Aged Beechwood Smoked Imperial Stout is a robust 14% brew that blends the bold essence of beechwood smoke with the subtle influence of Scotch Whisky barrels. With each sip, you'll embark on a flavour journey that showcases the distinctive German Beechwood smokiness, mellow Scotch whisky notes, and the depth of roasted malts, culminating in a balanced and satisfying finish.

WoW
Not often I say wow to a smoked impy stored in whiskey barrel
But this one was pure oral sex
So smooth and easy drinkable
Oily texture
Dark malt, chocolate, toffee, oak, mild smoke and mild whiskey

Can from Drankenhandel Leiden. Peated whiskey with ash, roast, dark chocolate, salty liquorice, alcohol. Moderate sweet, some warming booze in the finish. Medium to full body. Could be a bit more full, but other than that very nicely barrel aged, aroma stands out.

Chocolade, cacao, turf, gerookt, whisky, zoet, alcoholisch, sterk, maar er zit ook geen balans in, soms is de hoeveelheid alcohol gewoon teveel en dit doet het bier geen goed, te dun ook om die enorme hoeveelheid aan alcohol te dragen

Black with a short tan head. Aroma of peated wood. Flavour is ash, dark fruits, thick scotch treacle, tangy whisky finish.
