An Imperial Stout to be reckoned with, Vlad the Impaler is a coal-black, high-gravity, high-alcohol ale with tremendous, complex flavours and aromas that hint at caramel, coffee, roasted nuts and a perhaps a wee bit of smoke with a monster mouthfeel and a warming finish.
Our white stout is imparted a special finesse and elegance through a tertiary maturtation on a specially selected blend of American and French oaks that once held bourbon, cognac, and brandy. With all the coffee roastiness, chocolate maltiness and vanilla sweetness expected of its namesake kin, Barrel-aged Lovibond eschews the traditional ingredients and instead relies on a ballast real coffee, cocoa nibs and vanilla beans to round out a warm, filling woodiness.
