This beer has been aged in Burgundy Pinot Noir barrels for at least 12 months. The resulting beer has all the rich chocolate characters of Wildebeest but with a delicious vinous red wine acidity that adds layers of complexity to the finished beer. Affectionately dubbed ‘Last of the Rum & Wine’, the 2020 blend includes a beautiful rum barrel and a couple of longer aged red wine barrels as well, to give the blend the balance and layers of flavour we are looking for. This has a long, rich & elegant imperial stout character with a pronounced red berry acidity.
