A one-time-only imperial stout aged in a new oak barrel for a year. Draft only.
The nose is very oaky, with smoke and dark chocolate scents, as well as a touch of vanilla. Flavour is excellent. Oak is strong, but joined by vanilla, roast malt, toffee, chocolate and marshmallow. A very big flavour, even for the style. Body is heavy and enveloping, with a moderate carbonation.
Really good. It's nice to get a big, bold stout that doesn't derive its flavour from another liquor (as much as I love those as well). The oak does a lot, but the beer is the star. A shame there is so little (a single barrel).
