Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Winter Ale
This year’s release of B-Bomb is aged in 8–12-year-old American Oak bourbon barrels and is a blend of 9, 12, and 24-month old barrel-aged Winter Ale. B-Bomb achieves distinct bourbon, oak, cacao, leather, toffee, and dark coffee notes from its extended barrel aging and barrel blending. Each barrel contributes a different note, and combining each barrel to create a coherent tone is a distinct art and true pleasure. Please do enjoy this unique barrel-aged ale today but know that B-Bomb will age gracefully for at least another 5 years. Don’t Be Afraid To Be Abominable.
Down & Dirty: 2-Row Pale, Crystal-120, Munich, Roast Barley, Carafa-2, and Chocolate malts with Columbus, Willamette, and US Goldings hops.

Sample @ MBCC 2019, green session. Nice head with good duration. Color is black. Aroma and taste are rich roast malt, chocolate, vanilla, hops and has a nice warming finish.

Good amount of bourbon here, making the beer quite boozy and maybe a bit thin. Malty, something sweet, something lightly spicy, notes of chocolate and vanilla. Very solid and tasty beer, but maybe it got a bit overpowered?

Amazing aroma, bourbon, chocolate, granular, very sweet, lots of chocolate, a bit sharp alcoholic flavors, lacks complexity, lots of bourbon.

Bottle share @ Hansen's, 2017 version. Dark pour with some brownish foam. Nose has tons of toffee, sweetish and with some good chocolate latte there, creamy. Tastes sweet but balanced, light bourbon character, creamy and velvety. Yes, you guessed correctly, I do like this.

Bottle shared with the KL tasting crew. Poured a clear dark brown with a thin broken tan head. The aroma is roasty malt, vanilla, chocolate, light boozy alcohol. The flavour is moderate sweet with a smooth, rich oily, chocolate, light coffee, vanilla, boozy alcohol bitter palate. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation.
