About this release

Scotch Whisky Barrel Aged Peated Imperial Stout in which Scottish peated barley malt plays the leading role. With a velvety smooth texture and a strong yet authentic smoky aroma, aged in the slow magic of Laphroaig Quarter Casks, this stout reaches an impressive 15% alcohol. A legendary combination of Islay's smoky heritage and the power of a stout, perfect with Black Angus steak or hearty dishes. This Warrior 2026 from Lough Gill Brewery from Irish Sligo is an ambitious beer that the Irish brewery is known for with its adventurous creations. The character of this barrel aged imperial stout is determined by the complex interaction between the smoked malt and the aging in whisky casks. The 15% alcohol strength gives this beer the necessary body and warmth, while the velvety smooth texture ensures a pleasant drinking experience despite its strength. The smoky aroma dominates and refers to the maritime traditions of Islay whisky. This beer is an excellent choice for those who love layered, complex flavors and pairs particularly well with intensely spiced food and full-bodied meat varieties.
