A huge amount of the soy sauce/umami that got me into this sort of thing... On double speed. Oil slick texture. It's utterly infuriating that you can have brewing talent capable of this insanity and make them turn out Innocent smoothies.

LCI. Very different to your usual VC stout in that it’s not sweet. Still on the thin side but the barrels come through. Decent.

I'm not always entirely sold by the idea of some of Vault City's weird concoctions (though have to admit I normally don't mind them in the end) but this... Yeah, give up the fruit and lactose, guys, this is the shit. Proper barrel aged (sort of) impy. Fab

That's superb, thick and rich, smooth chocolate notes with complex barrel notes, boozy but not feeling 15.5!

Andy is drinking an Unbarreled V2 by Vault City Brewing at Das Schützenhaus
This is becoming a tradition. Another mental NPI, another thunderbastard to end the week. Thick, strong, sweet, boozy, oaky, vanilla, caramel and roasty. Defo more than just a hint of what was in the barrels previously.
