Vintage 2011: What you have here is quite rare and special. We take 1-year old Imperial Stout, age it in Cognac Barrels for 6 months, then carefully blend it at a very rich ratio of 1:2 with this year’s Imperial Stout. Rich powerful vanilla and sweet grape notes come through in waves, complimented by subtle cognac esters and supported by the big roasty malt backbone of the base stout. This beer can be enjoyed now or cellared for many years to come.
