Quinquennium Reserve

This version is the brewer’s reserve edition; kept in wood barrels for a little longer, to impart an even more decadent experience for the drinker.

We wanted to go big on our fifth birthday celebrations – half a decade of Polly’s is a big landmark for us, and what better way to celebrate five years than launching our barrel ageing program. Quinquennium was the next step in our brewing journey, and our first foray into working with wood. Wanting to pay homage to our home country, we’ve used Welsh whisky barrels, themselves ex-sherry barrels, to create an aged Imperial Stout perfect for a big occasion such as this. A thickly decadent pour beholds a deliciously complex beer; with roasted coffee, dark chocolate, and dark fruits on the front, before an introduction of sweet toffee and hazelnuts from the oak and a warming booziness finish things off.
