About this release

Imperial Stout aged in Ardnahoe Islay whisky barrels. This powerful stout has matured for months in barrels from the young Scottish distillery Ardnahoe, creating complex flavors of smoked peat, vanilla and dark chocolate. The Islay whisky influences add a subtle smokiness and sea salt character to this already rich and full-bodied Imperial Stout. The Barrel Aged Beluga Ardnahoe is a masterpiece by De Kromme Haring, the renowned Utrecht brewery that distinguishes itself through its diverse and distinctive beers. With an alcohol content of 12.0 percent, this is a serious beer with plenty of character. The combination of imperial stout and whisky barrel aging results in a complex and nuanced drink that is slowly discovered. Aging in Ardnahoe whisky barrels gives this beer a unique dimension. Smoked peat forms the foundation, on which subtle notes of vanilla and dark chocolate stand out. The Islay whisky influences bring a characteristic smokiness, interspersed with salty notes reminiscent of a Scottish coastline. This results in a voluminous, warm and intense beer that offers plenty of body and complexity. These 330ml bottles are perfect for lovers of intense, fermented beers and whisky aficionados who enjoy exploring both worlds.
