Imperial Porter using a blend of 7 different malts.
In terms of hops, we keep the IBUs modest at 35 and hopped the beer entirely with First Gold.
And of course, with Lost Abbey & BrewDog both obsessed with barrel ageing, this collaboration just had to be aged in oak.
We settled on some rum casks for the Imperial Porter, making it the first time either of the respective brewers have aged a beer in rum barrels.

Brian’s contribution to the tasting. A Lost Abbey/Brew Dog collaboration. A dark opaque brown bordering on black with a filmy beige head. 2 years old, light rum, light woodsy ness. Light bodied, zesty, spritzy mouthfeel. Candied plum, sweet, a bit woodsy, easy drinking with the only heat being in the pit of the stomach. Good stuff.

23.09.2013, 0,33l bottle @ hotel room in Molde:
Fizzy shortlasting head. Aroma is sweet and slightly boozy, dark malts, dark sugar, oak, vanilla, alcohol, raisins, toffee, grass, coconut, chocolate. Taste is harsh and boozy, dark malts, almond essence, dark sugar, harsh grass, harsh vanilla, oak, raisins, alcohol, toffee. Very thin body. So disappointing!

God lukt av frukt, krydder, rom og sjokolade. Mørk nesten sort farge. Lite skum. God sprudlende smak følelse av skokolade, rom, frukt og krydder. God sittende ettersmak. Et øl som må prøves. Et hav av smaksopplevelser.

Bottle shared with Adam in NH. Pours clear, red-brown with a small, beige cream head. Bready dark malt nose with caramel and other sugars, some ripe fruits, berries. Big sweet flavor with ripe and darkened fruits, raisins, rich bread, rummy fruits, berries. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Hot finish with berries, straight alcohol, caramel. Big and a bit boozy. Balance is all there.

33 cl bottle @ O’Hara’s Freehouse. Batch #176, bottled 05.11.2011
Aroma has vanilla, raisins and alcohol.Also some sweet malt with caramel and woody notes. Flavour is sweet with raisins, some stinging alcohol, wood and caramel. Looks, smells and tastes like a barley wine.Alcohol is clearly present here but it doesn’t disturb much even though this feels a bit thin. A very slow sipper like LA Deliverance or Angel’s Share.
