Paradox Rye

As a liquid interpretation of what brewing can achieve Paradox sets out its stall from the very beginning. Every few months we dial in a brew of our resonant imperial stout and then consign it to the timber embrace of a select group of different barrels. This iteration stands out for two particular reasons – firstly, it has taken on a classic American twist by being aged in rye whiskey casks, and secondly we have brought it into the twenty-first century by releasing it in cans!
Our latest Paradox release explores the influence of a true American flavour - rye whiskey. The peppery spice and toasted oak ingrained within these incredible barrels has imbued our imperial stout with a stunning depth of both aroma and flavour. At the same time, the rye has yielded layers of espresso, molasses and chocolate liqueur and added the warmth of frontier whiskey.
