Lough Gill Celt Cognac Barrel Aged Imperial Stout

Part of Lough Gill’s 2025 Barrel-Aged Series, Celt is a beautifully elegant Imperial Stout, aged in 200L Cognac barrels on their third run—having previously held both Cognac and Irish whiskey. These seasoned staves bring depth and subtlety to the rich malt sweetness of the base beer, creating a barrel-aged expression that’s quietly powerful and unmistakably refined.
Tasting Profile:
   • Appearance: Deep black with a tan head and slow legs
   • Aroma: Gentle oak, dark chocolate, and hints of dried fruit
   • Taste: Smooth and layered—tobacco, cocoa, and prune with soft brandy warmth and a whisper of spice
   • Mouthfeel: Full-bodied, velvety, and warming with a long, contemplative finish
Perfect for after-dinner sipping or quiet reflection, Celt pairs beautifully with hazelnut praline, aged Gouda, or spiced fruit cake. It’s a standout in the 2025 lineup—elegant, expressive, and not to be missed.
