Holgate Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout

TASTING NOTES

Indulge in the flavours of rich dried dark fruits and dark chocolate with a hint of vanilla and coconut from the barrels. It’s pure decadence. Brewed in the Baltic tradition, and aged for 9 months in ex pinot barrels, this boozy, luxurious experience can be cellared and is perfect for the discerning beer lover.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Since start-up in 1999 in Paul and Natasha Holgate’s back-yard, Holgate Brewhouse brewing company has been producing genuine craft beer from the village of Woodend in Victoria. Brewed, bottled and kegged right there, their beers come straight to you from their family-owned brewery, which they’re stoked to have installed in the awesome 19th century red-brick Hotel in Woodend.
