Aged through four seasons and from a blend of the top Bourbons around, this Ten Fidy has morphed into a monster of cranked up flavor. Espresso, burnt sugar, rich chocolate, caramel notes are now driving alongside the vanilla, oak, bourbon from the barrel and been smoothed out during maturation. Even at 12.9% (75 IBUs) it is cool and drinkable, letting each sip add more and more complexity.

Stovepipe can. Stamped on the bottom--canned 0n 10-29-18 @09:20 and the words "Kangaroo Sauce." Pours a opaque dense black color with a medium sized brown head that soon dissipates into a fine surface scum. The aroma is distinct with anise, blackened grains, raisins and coffee. The taste mirrors the aroma with black licorice, coffee, mocha, raisins, bitter blackened grains and some whiskey barrel. The palate is full and oily with light carbonation. Finishes long with lingering whiskey barrel and bitter walnuts. Overall: Decent concoction--remarkable for an Impy stout in a can, and remarkable for being an Impy that is not overly sweet. Paired well with some Snowdonia English cheddar.

Chapterhouse Växjö . Doftar choklad bourbon godis. Liite alkohol också. I munnen bourbon med choklad och bryggkaffe . Ja en rätt torr avslutning . Tyvär slår alkohol igenom. Kan bero på ölen tyvär ljummen. Trotts den kom direkt från kylskåpet . Hur smakar denna kall? Och jag älskar bourbon i Imp Stout. Men detta var som hälla väl mycket ren bourbon.
