Skeleton Key (2019) Earl Grey & Coconut

Barrel Aged Spiced Imperial Stout w/ Earl Grey Cream Tea & Toasted Coconut
10.6% ALC./VOL.
500mL

Normally released annually, Skeleton Key is our rum barrel aged imperial stout, spiced with a mélange of ginger, all spice, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg and juniper berries. This extremely limited variant is comprised of two of our favourite barrels blended together and then conditioned on Earl Grey Cream tea from Pluck Teas and toasted coconut.

What it smells and tastes like: This variant showcases the beer’s voluptuous body and incredible barrel character. Strong flavours and aromas of bergamot and vanilla mingle with the spice in the base beer – while the coconut somehow manages to increase the chewy body even further.
