Heaven is a Bourbon barrel aged Imperial Stout, decadent enough to make an angel blush.
A divine depth of Bourbon and maple flavour and an otherworldly texture make this boozy treat something worth celebrating with.

Sampled at Craft Beer Helsinki Festival, Wanha Satama.
Poured black in color, thin head.
Bourbon is nicely showing in the aroma, light wood and roastedness.
Maple sweetness, some warmth.

330ml can. Pours almost black with a thin tan head. Aroma dominated by maple, with vanilla and chocolate, bourbon hints. Taste too is completely dominated by maple, there's also dark chocolate, vanilla, and some bourbon, warming boozy finish, and pretty sweet overall. Medium bodied.
Very nice even if the maple is a bit overbearing.

Can at home shared with Laura. Opaque pitch black color, medium sized brown colored head. Aroma and flavor are malts, sweetish chocolate, slightly "hopjesvla", vanilla, "koetjesreep". Pff not my kind of beer tbh. Too sweet.
