About this release

Imperial Peated Stout aged on Islay whisky barrels in collaboration with Emperor's Brewery. This powerful stout of 13.3% matured for 12 months on Islay whisky barrels and developed deep, smoky and rounded flavors as a result. A complex stout that perfectly combines tradition, craftsmanship and intensity, ideal for lovers of barrel-aged beers with a smoky whisky influence. Brouwerij Kees from Middelburg has once again proven with this Barrel Project beer why life is too short for boring beers. The brewery is known for its flavorful and powerful creations, and this Imperial Dominion is an excellent example of that. The collaboration project with Emperor's Brewery resulted in a beer that pushes the boundaries of what is possible with barrel-aging. The 12 months of maturation on Islay whisky barrels gave this beer the time it needed to absorb all its nuances. The result is an intense, complex stout with characteristic smoke and whisky notes that balance each other perfectly. This is a beer for serious lovers of barrel-aged beers, for whom a full alcohol content of 13.3% and smoky, contorted flavors are not a daunting prospect, but rather a promise. Perfect to enjoy slowly in smaller quantities.
