Lough Gill Solera Sherry Brandy Barrel Aged Imperial Stout

Part of Lough Gill’s 2025 Barrel-Aged Series, Solera is a truly distinctive Imperial Stout, aged in stunning 500L Spanish Sherry Butts that previously held brandy. As the brewery team put it: “this is something different.” It’s a beer of depth, elegance, and quiet intensity—crafted for reflection and indulgence.
Tasting Profile:
   • Appearance: Deep black with a mocha head and slow legs
   • Aroma: Warm brandy, toasted oak, and dried fruit
   • Taste: Rich and layered—vanilla, raisin, prune, and nutty undertones wrapped in velvety malt and subtle sherry warmth
   • Mouthfeel: Full-bodied, smooth, and contemplative with a long, warming finish
Perfect for after-dinner relaxation or quiet meditation, Solera pairs beautifully with blue cheese, almond tart, or dark chocolate. It’s a rare treat—a barrel-aged stout that speaks softly but leaves a lasting impression.
