A blend of the first two batches of beer we brewed at Alesong, our Imperial milk stout was matured in bourbon barrels to add velvety layers of vanilla, coconut, and bourbon to the sweet and chocolatey malt flavors of the base stout. Read the full backstory here.

Burk hemma! Doft av massor av bourbon. Ett gott tecken! Smaken mjuk med bourbon o sötma. Lång smak med lakrits o läder. Visst här finns bourbon men något för söt för högre besök. Yammi

Canned, from Systembolaget. Black, small head. Bourbony nose with caramel and chocolate. Artificially sweet with near full body and rounded mouthfeel. Sugar,vanilla and artificial sweetener. Chocolate and bourbon. Achingly sweet finish. Has potential, but way too much artificial sweetener.
