Imperial Malt Liquor Aged in Bourbon Barrels

Here you have what could be the first malt liquor worthy of a glass. Typically a slighted style, we thought we would class it up with a stay in the wood and a healthy dose of dry-hopping. A huge hit of corn gives this one a smooth sweetness while its time spent aging in bourbon barrels will give you reason to share. Be warned: this one’s a pry-off, not a twist-off.

Bottle from Craft Brewed. Pours a clear, deep gold with a finger of foam that dissipates quickly. Corn forward nose with brown sugar, vanilla and alcohol on the nose. Toasted caramel, molasses & booze on the palate. Hot, thin and sweet on the palate. With lingering alcohol heat on the finish. It's fun, but diabetes is real though. Glad I only bought a single, but Founders made the malt liquor they set out to make I guess.
