Delightful smokey slightly more bitter version of the original Old Growth Imperial Stout, with distinct bourbon aromas and flavors.

650ml bottle. Pours pitch black with a smooth head. Aroma of roasty malts, wood, oak, buttery bourbon, popcorn and vanilla. Taste is smooth, sweet and slick with loads of buttery bourbon, hints of popcorn, vanilla, oak and wood. Finish is sweet and buttery with some bourbon, oak and vanilla, hints of roastiness, coffee and chocolate. Quite heavy on buttery bourbon notes.

Aroma has nice and sweet bourbon aromas with vanilla. Also licorice. Flavour has salty licorice, mild rubbery tones, bourbon, vanilla and woody tones. A bit too salty but nice anyway.
