Imperial Stout aged in bourbon barrels
A conscious and meaningful brewing effort between friends and lovers of barrel aged beers: formulated as a blend of our signature barrel aged stouts, we both selected techniques and ingredients that pushed both our skill sets. The resulting beer rested for 14 months in fresh bourbon barrels. Inky, warm, dark & extravagant, swallowing you into a deep abyss of liquid love. Collaboration with Side Project.

Batch 2 bottle shared for Blind Stout Share. Pours a deep brown to black with almost no head. Very fruit driven nose with milk chocolate next to orange and plum. Some light smoke comes out as it warms. Oak on the palate with more chocolate and milk. Like a chocolate covered orange. Sweet and fruity finish that lingers. ABV hidden well.

Thanks Walt for sharing the bottle! Taster showing black with no head. The nose shows a strong alcoholic heat with moderately intense notes of molasses and brownies. The palate is thick and barely carbonated. Moderately sweet with moderately intense flavors of light raisin, smoke, and sugar cane.

Thanks! Sampled draft @ Billie’s Beer Festival 2018. Day 2. Black syrup. Nose is alcoholic bourbon, sugar, sweet pastry, candy with big walnut. Taste is sweet alcoholic boozy, pleasant bit too hot but with good sugar, bourbon pastry, candy and dark nuts. Thick, tasty stuff.
