If you’re looking for a craft beer that delivers bold flavours, deep complexity, and masterful barrel aging, Liath Egan Whiskey Barrel Aged Imperial Stout is for you. Crafted by DOT Brew, this exceptional Imperial Stout is aged in Egan’s Irish Whiskey barrels, allowing the rich malt body to develop layers of whiskey-infused depth.
At 9.2% ABV, this is an Imperial Stout built for those who appreciate intricate, full-bodied beers. The carefully selected eight-malt blend—including roasted barley, chocolate malt, and flaked oats—forms a smooth yet intensely flavoured base. The beer undergoes fermentation using an American yeast strain, which enhances depth while complementing the warming whiskey finish.
