Aged for nine months in the finest bourbon barrels that Kentucky has to offer, this imperial stout delivers bold notes of dark chocolate, vanilla, and oak and finished on cacao and locally roasted coffee beans from three hills. It’s that rich espresso kick that balances out the smoothness of the malt and the bourbon.

Can shared by my bro. It pours jet black with a decent tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, bourbon soaked oak, vanilla, toasted marshmallow, chocolate ice cream, slightly charred, toffee, oily, chocolate bourbon biscuits and warming booze. The taste is smooth, dark roasted malt, bitter - sweet, vanilla fudge, muted coconut, plenty of coffee, cappuccino, bourbon soaked oak, cinder toffee, caramac, dried fruits, fruit cake, chocolate, rocky road, toasty spice, plum jam and warming booze with a stick, deeply roasted finish. Medium - full some body and average carbonation. Flavourful and balanced. Hides the abv very well. Dangerously drinkable.
