Wolf of the Willows, together withThe Gospel Whiskey, are excited to announce there-release of a very special and unique collaboration between brewer and distiller, called Persistence II, a Rye Barrel Aged Imperial Stout.

Persistence: to continue in spite of opposition, frustration or fatigue.

Just like the challenge of a maze, we all take different paths, we all hit dead ends, but with persistence we all grow and come out the other side, much like Rye does.

Symbolic of our time, ‘Rye’ grain continues to grow even in harshest of conditions, and hence to some, including Wolf of the Willows, has been a symbol of Persistence. Rye was the hero of this beer, hence the second collaboration between Wolf andThe Gospel,who specialise in making exceptional rye whiskey, a unique offering in the Australian market.

This beer was brewed using malted Rye grain and specially selected dark and roasted barley, and then aged for 6 months in hand selected rye whiskey soaked, American toasted Rye Whiskey Solera barrels from The Gospel Distillery. The result is an Imperial Stout rich in Rye Whiskey barrel aged flavours of molasses, liquorice, dark chocolate, spices and roast.
