Big Daddy is the heavyweight Russian Imperial Stout from Dutch Bargain, a Zeeland-based brewery known since 2011 for unconventional brewing. This 16% ABV powerhouse is matured in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels, a choice that shapes its distinctive character.

The beer showcases deep roasted malt with prominent bourbon and vanilla notes, layered with coffee and cocoa from added nibs. At 60 IBU, it delivers meaningful bitterness that complements rather than overwhelms the rich, warming body. The barrel aging adds complexity without masking the core malt-driven identity.

This is a beer for slow appreciation, where alcohol strength and layered flavours reveal themselves over time.
