Wolf of the Willows Lark Imperial JSP V 12.8% 440mL
🍺 The Wolf of the Willows Lark Imperial JSP V is a collaboration that brings intense richness and complexity to the fore. This barrel-aged imperial smoked porter offers a unique take on the traditional style.
Crafted by Wolf of the Willows in partnership with Lark Distillery, this beer is aged in freshly-emptied Lark whisky barrels for an average of nine months. The time spent in the barrels imbues the beer with layers of flavour that are both rich and intriguing.
The profile is as indulgent as it is complex, combining notes of dark chocolate, molasses, and vanilla with a peaty undertone. The result is a robust porter that is both smooth and satisfying, offering a luxurious drinking experience.
At 12.8%, it's a beer that commands attention — perfect for a slow, contemplative session or pairing with rich desserts.
