The small barrels give plenty of wood contact, deepening the colour and drawing out the roasted character of the stout's dark malts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt pours a golden amber. A distinctly dark chocolate note punches through, with burnt sugar, coffee and espresso on the nose, and milk chocolate, hazelnut, cream and caramel on the palate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrewed, distilled and bottled at full strength, it is a bold gift for craft beer fans and whiskey lovers alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnjoy it neat or with a few drops of water to open up its complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhiskey begins life much like beer: malted grain is mashed to make a sweet liquid called wort, which is fermented and then distilled. Starting from the wort of a rich imperial stout, brewed with dark roasted malts, gives this whiskey its unusual depth of chocolate and coffee.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCask strength means the whiskey is bottled at the strength it reaches in the barrel, without being diluted, so a splash of water is the best way to explore its layers at your own pace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerican whiskey made outside the traditional bourbon and rye categories gives distillers room to experiment with grains, mashes and barrels, and brewery collaborations like this one are among the most creative results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burnt sugar, coffee, espresso and dark chocolate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milk chocolate, hazelnut, cream and caramel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStrength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cask strength, 127 proof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stone Brewing with Foundry Distilling Co.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e American Whiskey distilled from Imperial Stout wort, Cask Strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 127 proof (63.5% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask \/ Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30-gallon charred oak barrels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSip it neat, then add a few drops of water.
