Ocho – Apple Brandy Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
ABV: 17%
Ocho presents a refined twist on tradition. Rested in apple brandy barrels, this imperial stout offers rich undertones of dark fruit, apple compote, and cocoa wrapped in warming brandy aromatics. The interplay of roasted malt and orchard sweetness creates a luxurious sip with layered depth, perfect for contemplative enjoyment or celebratory moments.

Can from brewery via Steve.Opaque, inky black, no head/lacing.Aroma strong sweet, roasted, earthy malt, apple brandy.Taste strong earthy malt, apple brandy (in bourbon before brandy?).Smooth, soft carbonation, fin as taste. I like it better than Acht and, even though the description doesn't say it was in a bourbon barrel before the apple brandy, it sure tastes like it. The base shines; I wish the apple brandy could have been a smidge stronger. Good.
