Apple Brandy Barrel Noir is an imperial stout we age in apple brandy barrels. The beer has major notes of chocolate, coffee, apple, and vanilla in the flavor and aroma. The stout is thick and slightly sweet, making for a smooth, slow sipping beer. Enjoy now, or lay a few down to try it with some age on it.

Weicher, moderat süßer Malzbeginn, Schokolade, Toffee. Die Süße bleibt konstant auf angenehmem Level, etwas trocken, die Fasslagerung macht sich bemerkbar. Der Alkohol zeigt sich ebenfalls deutlich, bleibt aber gut eingebunden, ein Hauch Vanille, etwas erhöhte Viskosität. Rundes harmonisches Bier! 10/12/11/12/13/12

Finally! Yes, apple. But above all, a delicious snd smooth stout. Nicely thick, smooth mouthfeel and lightly boozy. Base gives nice amount of chocolaty roast, while the barrels add apple, wood, and some light fruity tartness. Nicely balanced, and tasty.

(355ml B2? bottle @ Himmeriget, Copenhagen, Aug 3/19) Pours pitch black with a small pale tan ring. Notes of prominent apple brandy and even apple flesh, dark chocolate, molasses, vanilla, moderate plus bitter roasted grains, black coffee accents, quite sweet in the nose and at the start of the sip but with apple brandy warmth building through the sip and giving quite the oak and spirit drydown, finish is brandy-inflected dark chocolate and vanilla with moderate toasty roast and wood. Medium-full oily body with rather soft carbonation. Intense stuff, not quite as balanced as I'd imagined from the things people said of B1 bottles but really good barrel character here.

0.355l bottle from 'Beergium', bottled in May 2016, cellared for over three years. Pitch black with a thin, beige layer. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty aroma of praline, hazelnut, vanilla, some coffee and a touch of brandy. Fairly sweet, malty, gently roasty and a little fruity taste of praline, hazelnut, vanilla, mild coffee and brandy, followed by a long, gently roasty-bitter, quite warming and just a little boozy finish. Full body, smooth and oily mouthfeel, almost flat. Lovely beer, perfectly balanced, accompanied by delicious flavours from the barrel. Great Imperial Stout from Prairie again!

Bottle thanks to Vestergaard/Rasmusott. Thanks guys. Pours pitch black with a medium dark brown head. Aromas of green sweet apples, chocolate, oaky, apple cake, tobacco, fudge, vanilla. Taste has the some sweet apples, vanilla, dark chocolate, light tobacco, oaky, malty, big cakey finish. Different from what you’re used to in the Prairie stouts - very nice.
