Lost Dog (w/ Lost Abbey)
Rum-Aged Imperial Porter - Lost Abbey Collab.
Our first beer aged in rum casks, Lost Dog saw us brew a collaboration imperial porter with our friends at Lost Abbey. The base beer was packed with toffee, chocolate and roasty notes, balanced with a subtle spicy hop character. The rum casks add a warming, spiced vanilla edge.

Ageing in barrels brings the ABV up. Recreate rum cask ageing by soaking oak chips in rum then adding to the maturing beer.
