Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels with coffee
This year's's vintage of our barrel-aged speedway stout has been carefully aged in premium bourbon barrels, a process that enriches the beer with deep, complex flavors.
The aging imparts notes of oak and vanilla, which meld beatifully with the stout's robust notes of chocolate, artisanal coffee, and roasted barley.

I had to create this one as Pastry stout bc. the style must be the same as the batch parent beer or it can't be added.
I think it could be argued this is an imperial stout, not a pastry - only thing added as far as I know is coffee.
when opening the can a lot of stout came out by itself, making a mess of my desk.
very nice mainly roasted malty aroma with a bit of perfumey coconut going on. coffee. the bourbon is not very heavy, only being hinted at. smooth balanced aroma
flavor is coconut, cake glazing sweetness, coffee - lots of coffee, roasted malts into the end, and hard roasted lots of coffee roast into the far end.
I think I can feel the coffee - lots of coffee here.
pretty good, for a speedway stout it is a bit too much cake glazing up front, and too little roasted malts. also the bourbon sort of hides itself under the heavy coffee bitterness. it does feel super balanced and smooth and all - but in the end not the best speedway stout i've tried. mouthfeel is okay but tilting towards watery.
