Our Bourbon barrel-aged version of Santa’s Little Helper, this Imperial Stout begins the journey with flavors of sweet Bourbon and oak, continues with hints of nutty dark chocolate and malt and finishes with a smoky coffee finish. A perfect beer to leave for the Jolly Old Fat Man instead of milk and cookies.

Kicsi, gyorsan elolvadó hab, fekete szín. Édeskés, csokis, kakaós, aszalt szilvás, aszalt gyümölcsös illat, némi fűszeres vonással. Édes, csokis, kakaós, kávés ízvilág, fűszeres és komoly aszalt gyümölcsös aromákkal, valamint határozott hordós, vaníliás, whiskey-s vonásokkal. Testes, enyhén szénsavas, közepesen keserű. Szuper desszert sör, hosszú, édeskés, wiskey hordós lecsengéssel és utóízzel.

Bottle, vintage 2014. Pours darkest brown with a dark beige foam. Aroma is bourbon, vanilla, Christmas spices, marzipan. Body is medium, boozy but not too strong, sweet but rather balanced some bourbon but not overwhelming. Really profits from BBAing. Very, very good.
