Imperial smoked Stout aged in bourbon barrels.
Wood Burner imperial smoked stout aged in bourbon barrels. Over the years we have brewed a plethora of bit stouts and porters, and the idea of brewing an imperial smoked stout was something we had been kicking around for a while. When an open brew day presented itself, we knew exactly what to do. The base stout focuses on rich caramel and chocolate notes with a deep savory/smoky backbone. The entire batch found its way into bourbon barrels, where it rested for over a year. An enticing combination of sweet and savory, with waves of dark chocolate and vanilla that wash over the palate. Cheers to stoking the creative flame in all of us!
