The 2023 Vintage Stout is the fifth release of our ‘Vintage’ range of yearly Barrel Aged releases.

This Imperial Stout was brewed with a ‘Reiterated’ Double Mashing schedule, in which the second mash is mixed in with high gravity Wort from the first mash. This process allows us to extract a more concentrated sweet Wort, which feeds the yeast to create a higher alcohol brew.

A small addition of dextrose sugar in the fermenter added an extra hit of alcohol which gives this beer a warming balance to the oak tannins. We then decanted the beer into New Zealand Whisky Barrels from Pōkeno Distillery, and left the beer to rest for nine months.

The process of Oak ageing creates a chemical reaction between the wood and the beer, in which flavour compounds such as tannins and vanillins leach into the beer, creating a rounded and complex flavour. By treating the oak barrel as an additional ‘ingredient’ we’ve been able to create this complex and rich brew that is perfect for winter nights, and will also cellar extremely well as it gains complexity with ageing.

Inspired by the cold clarity of the Isarco River in the Italian Dolomites, this is lager at its most refined. Premium German malt brings delicate cracker sweetness, while noble hops add bright citrus and soft floral jasmine. Patiently lagered for five weeks for brilliant clarity and naturally carbonated for a tight, creamy foam. Crisp, elegant, and as refreshing as alpine water.

Blending peanut butter with whiskey? We thought the idea sounded a little nutty too. But it’s high time a whiskey was bred to take the party to the next level. Grab a bottle of Sheep Dog Peanut Butter Whiskey, break away from the pack and woof down some good times. Produced in the USA this flavoured whiskey is bursting with natural peanut butter flavours, notes of vanilla and caramel popcorn with warm whiskey undertones.
