Bourbon Barrel Stout began life as a robust, malt-forward imperial stout. We then painstakingly aged the brew for 12 months in the finest small batch 10-year Kentucky bourbon barrels. The results are exceptional. The beer displays complex notes of roasted caramel, cinnamon bark, toasted vanilla, dried cherries, and aged leather. Bourbon Barrel Stout finishes smooth, with a warming embrace, hinting at its lengthy residence in the oak.

500ml during spontaneous mini-tasting @ Ryan's.
Aroma: American oak, brown sugars, moderately sweet.
Taste: a lot of burnt oak and dark sugars, noticeably bitter, creamy aftertaste. Medium-bodied for the almost 14% ABV.
Overall: enjoyable.

Poured from 500mL bottle. Very dark brown with minimal off white head. Very woody barrel character with very feint hints of cherry from the wood, relatively boozy, touch of nutty roast, medium body. Mostly a showcase of the barrel, the base could be improved a little.
