A prolonged repose in bourbon-soaked American oak barrels adorns a dark chocolate profile with notes of toasted coconut and vanilla. A rich, supple texture belies the unholy power of our Imperial Oatmeal Stout.

2016 bottle - a bit more than two years old. Very tasty stout. Lots of dark chocolate without much of a harsh edge. Some coffee and a good dose of oaky bourbon sweetness. Smooth, good body. Probably was a bit creamier fresh. Some booze. Good stuff.

Can. Deep, murky brown-black body, thin dissipating medium brown head. Oaky nose, inky, with layers of roast, coffee beans, and bourbon; also prune and raisin. Body initially sharp with prominent alcohol burn in the nostrils and chest, the syrupy morass beneath round, malty, and sugary with coffee beans and roast, prune/raisin, bourbon, and sharp, raw, bitter oak. Substantial but hot and raw; I'd be curious to sample this IS with some age on it.

Draft. Bartender says this comes in at 14.2%. Deep brown/black body. Tan head, diminishing. Aroma of cherry, wood, roasted grain, vanilla, caramel. The flavor is moderately sweet and lightly bitter. It finishes lightly sweet and lightly to moderately bitter. Medium body, watery texture, moderate carbonation. Tart, cherry taste. Woody, too. Surprisingly thin for a 14% beer.

Can shared by Adam, thanks! Pours black with a dark brown head that dissipates completely. Aroma has dark grains, roasted malts and a bit of coffee underlying. Flavor has roasted malts and dark grains with some coffee backing.

Poured from can thanks AFH black with a foamy cocoa head. Aroma is roasted malt chocolate toffee luscious bourbon notes. Taste is amazing creamy decadent toffee vanilla oak cbocolate and bourbon not overpowering ABV is well hidden. I can drink this all the time.
