A mix of Imperial Stout and Barleywine (as per owner) Barrel Aged in 3 different Whiskey and Port Barrels.
NOTES: Red Wine, Oaky Chocolate with Silky Mouth Feel.
Editor’s note: The beer is advertised as an imperial stout, but it is in fact a blend of imperial stout and barley wine, hence the classification as an American Strong Ale.

On tap at Skookum, pours a filthy dark brown with a tiny head. Nose brings out tons of the port barrels upfront, with the whiskey taking a backseat; there’s plenty of dark fruity malts, woodiness, and toffee. Flavour is rich, with big port barrel expression upfront, followed by woody whiskey, dark dried fruits, toffee, caramel, and moderate sugars. Complex barrel character, but an ever-so-slightly jumbled body. Well-structured, nice port finish. Excellent.

Aroma: nice mix of barrels, American oak and Port barrel notes.
Taste: along the same lines, moderate body.
Overall: pretty complex, pleasant, quite drinkable.

Medium brown, thin head. Dark fruit aroma, I guess that’s the port barrel. Soft body, sweet, finishing intensely oaky with a lot of port.
