Made from our B.O.R.I.S. Imperial Stout, that was rated one of the World's 50 Best Beers, and won the Gold Medal at the GABF in 2008. BARREL-AGED B.O.R.I.S. has picked up rich characters of vanilla, dark fruit, oak, and spice. It's unbelievably complex and savory

12 oz bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a deep brown to black with 2 fingers of beige foam that lingers. Lots of oak, cacao and booze in the nose. Plum, prune , cacao nib on the palate. Roasted espresso with more cacao finish. Fairly smooth with the oak, but slightly boozy on the finish. --- Beer merged from original tick of Barrel Aged B.O.R.I.S.

Botella 66 cl en Cimmeria 27..12..2017 (r1017) sin lote ni fdcpref legibles. Color negro intenso con espuma beige oscuro persistente. Sabores intensos maltosos tostados con cacaos ligeras lactosas, vainillas y buenos toques de maderas empapadas en whisky y licores. Cuerpo medio a intenso con buena sensación alcohólica desde el principio. Fina y suave en boca. Suave amargo algo seco al final. Bastante buena para repetir sin duda alguna

A pour from the bottle (thx, Rob!) on Black Christmas V. Pours an almost black with dark beige head. Aroma and taste are is berry-ish bourbon with some chocolate and leather notes. Some booziness. Good one.

Lovely bourbon barrel impy stout, deep, dry, and roasty with oodles of bourbon and oak coursing through the back end. Starts sweet, with milk chocolate, raisins, and molasses leading to a dark fruit-laced middle. Back end grows bitter and boozy, though, dark roast coffee and anise sliding into a deep, gorgeous oaked bourbon fade. Pours a lovely near-black with a tan-brown head and slight lacing. Nose is a enticing mix of whiskey, oak, coffee, and chocolate. Perfect texture, silky smooth without a hint of alcohol warmth. Lovin’ the B.O.R.I.S.
