Ola Dubh 40 Special Reserve Ale
Seeking a richer and more complex drink, Harviestoun decant the stout into a Highland Park 40 Year Old Whisky barrell, where it is aged for a goodly long time. It emerges as Ola Dubh 40, an extraordinarily decadent, almost port-like beer which is a versatile enough to be a beguiling match for chocolate or cheese.
Love these beers. I was luck enough to find the 30 year old on cask and it blew me away. A really good example of how a barrell can be used to improve the flavour of a beer, not mask it.
