Brehon Brewhouse | Crann Beatha | Barrel Aged Russian Imperial Stout

Crann Beatha is a powerful barrel aged Russian Imperial Stout brewed by Brehon Brewhouse. Bottled at 10% ABV, this stout is matured in Irish whiskey barrels, adding layers of oak, spirit warmth, and complexity to an already intense, roast-driven base. The name Crann Beatha, meaning “tree of life,” reflects the importance of wood and time in shaping its character.

The aroma is deep and expressive, with roasted malt, dark chocolate, espresso, vanilla, and subtle whiskey notes. On the palate, it is full-bodied and warming, delivering rich cocoa, coffee, molasses and gentle oak, followed by a long, smooth, spirit-tinged finish. Designed for slow sipping, sharing, or cellaring, Crann Beatha is a serious stout for lovers of bold, barrel-aged beers.
