In the second incarnation of Mott the Lesser, we introduce a new element to our Russian Imperial Stout.
Aged in apple brandy and port barrels in our first offering, a portion was aged in bourbon barrel for two month to create this blend.
We hope you enjoy the result.

Catch up rating from Saturday’s RIS bottle share. A bit on the watery side for the style, hints of chocolate on top of the roast grains, but lacking the oomph factor as well. Just not quite there.

Boise Imperial Stout Tasting. Brown pour with a thin ring of beige head. Nose is sweet, a little hoppy. Tastes sweet with chocolate and a bit of floral hop bitters. A little on the thin side.

500ml bottle pours out black topped with a tan head. Nose is a odd licorice metallic note roast some smoke. Taste is more of the roast malts the odd metallic taste and a little chocolate.

500 ml bottle thanks to willrunforbeer, much thanks. Aroma is leather, molasses, red grapes, light roasted malt, burnt sugar.
Flavor is not really "Kate" but after all this is reinvented. I have had Kate in 2011 and 2012. This is hard to compare since it is a bottle. The mouthfeel is pretty nice, full and thick. Leather hints, dark molasses, red grapes, with a good amount of oak in the finish. It’s a very nice classic RIS. Highly drinkable.

500ML Bottle. Thanks Brian for sharing.
A - Dark brown to black with small tight bubbles.
S - A ton of roasted chocolate aroma with some smoked malt along with candy and coffee.
T - There is a ton of roasted malts in this one. Coffee chocolate, almost no sweetness, dessert wine, raisin and fig
M - Thin, decent carbonation but nothing explosive.
O - This is a great ’classic’ Imperial Stout. No barrel aging, no adjuncts, no frills. But it’s a great modern stout brewed in the classic 10 years ago "why would you barrel age this?" stouts.
