Our 2020 vintage offers all the classic hallmarks, with rich notes of dark chocolate truffles, fresh roasted coffee, and a complex wood character from the long aging in local Glenora Single Malt Whiskey barrels.

Clearly lost something with ageing, but still a bit of spice and sweetness that made it a treat. Old school. Received in cross-country trade. Worth a try but weak for the style.

Dark brown with a smallish head. Sweetish Whiskey nose. Full malt body with thick whiskey flavours. Super smooth but must be sipped.

Bottle: Poured a pitch-black color stout with a medium size dark brown foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of roasted malt and black chocolate notes with some vinous notes and light residual sugar notes. Taste is a mix of roasted malt and black chocolate with some vinous notes and light residual sugar notes from the port wine barrels. Body is about average with good carbonation with light warming alcohol notes. Interesting mix of flavours thought not sure port barrels are the best to mix with imperial stout flavours.
