Our Dubbo Klockels has already made a name for itself as a refreshing dubbel beer, with a strong smoky flavor as an added bonus. That in itself is quite unique, but for the most avid peat and smoke enthusiasts, we’ve taken it a step further. We thought it would be a good idea to let one of our smokiest beers age in a barrel from perhaps the most peated whisky. On the south side of the idyllic Scottish island of Islay lies the renowned Laphroaig Distillery. For over 200 years, they have been producing heavily peated whisky, characteristic of the island of origin, which, as it should be with whisky, is aged in wooden barrels. This barrel has added a new dimension of smokiness to our Dubbo Klockels, impressing without overpowering. The influences of the sweetness of the beer and the deep wood tones effortlessly remain prominent. Additionally, the whisky has imparted some extra alcohol, as this beer has an ABV of 9.5%, making it one to handle with caution.
