An exquisitely poised and elegant dessert stout. Sometimes you have to take a step back to take another forwards. This is a reimagination of our popular Imperial Stout, Persistence Is Utile, with a touch of smooth elegance from time spent in oak. The process began by stripping the original back to the basics and letting the base beer, before additions, sit in Speyside whisky barrels for three months. What emerged was remarkably rich and sleek, so we added further complexity by conditioning the beer on vanilla beans and heady, full-flavoured single-origin Peruvian beans from Workshop Coffee. Enjoy, it alongside your favourite dessert, or grab two glasses and savour some time with a loved one.
