About this release

Irish Whiskey Barrel Aged Imperial Oatmeal Stout aged for one year in Sherry Oloroso casks that previously contained Irish whiskey. This powerful stout combines bold whiskey characteristics with rich flavors of chocolate and roasted coffee, derived from a blend of caramel and roasted malts. The soft sherry finish provides a silky smooth balance to the robust 13% alcohol. Spear comes from the kettle of Lough Gill Brewery, an Irish brewery from Sligo known for its adventurous beers. This imperial oat stout is an example of their craftsmanship, where traditions of whiskey distilling and brewing meet. A year of aging in wooden casks has transformed this Imperial Stout into a complex, full-bodied drink that feels both robust and refined. With an alcohol percentage of 13% and oatmeal content for texture, Spear offers a satisfying experience for lovers of barrel-aged beers. The combination of whiskey influence, chocolate and coffee together with the delicate sherry finish makes this a memorable choice. With an Untappd rating of 4.07 out of 5 stars based on more than 400 reviews, it's clear that this beer knows how to impress.
