  Stout - Imperial Regular

ABV: 10.0% IBU: - Ticks: 6
Our first step into barrel-ageing and the relationship between wood and beer. For this imperial stout we've taken the coffee and cocoa base beer and split it between port and bourbon barrels to see what both fortified wine and spirit can bring to beer.

The bourbon barrel brings vanilla and sticky sewed fruits with a smoother, more mellowed body than its counterpart. The bourbon sweetness lends balance to the coffee that resides within this enticingly dark beer and tempers the rich cocoa. Think Tennessee Mud Shake in beer form.

Unfined, unfiltered, suitable for vegans.

Bottle shared on the train to Brizzle. Thanks to the stag. Pours oily black-brown with Abby, foamy mocha head. The nose holds scorched mats, baking cocoa, earth, ashy roast. Medium sweet flavour with lots of bitter dark chocolate, hearty ash, more earth. Full bodied, chewy, with lovely carbonation. Warming finish with some further strong torched malts, drying ash, alcohol, bitter cocoa. Really good stuff overall. Quite hearty.

Bottle thanks to Dan. It pours opaque jet black with a medium dark tan head. The aroma is rich roasted malt, charred wood, ashy, dark chocolate, chocolate cake, nougat, toasted marshmallow and rocky road. The taste is dry, bitter, charred wood, bitter - sweet, dark chocolate, sticky, chocolate cake, umami, oaky, burnt toasty, charry/ash, peppery spice, warming and tannin with drying finish. Fulsome body and high, foamy carbonation. A bit charred perhaps, but really good fun.

Dan's Stag. Train rate. Thanks to Dan for the bottle. Opaque dark brown beer, good dark tan head. Fluffy palate, very light, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy dark malts, decent dark chocolate. Little dark malt cream. Spicy mid. Good complex fruits on the back end. Dark fruits and a touch of red berries. Some bourbon barrel rises to the top, trace of skewed alcohol. Nice. Rich and drinkable.
