Genealogy of Morals, the name of one of our most coveted Nietzschean narratives, also happens to be one our barrel-aged imperial stouts. We brewed this wheat imperial stout, added a touch of coffee, and aged it in a selection of bourbon barrels from our favorite distillers.

Draught at Sabatini's: pours black with beige head. Aroma is loads of coffee and dark chocolate. Some better. Coffee, with a bit of a peppery bite and dark chocolate bitterness. Quite good.

50cl bottle shared with the fine crew at El Birrot. Via trade some years ago, anno 2016 - it was about time to drink it.
Bottled 01/07/2016.
Noire sur le brun foncée, col crémeux blanc-cassé, le tout est finement huileux et doré au verre.
Arôme offre un bouquet axé sur le smalts - pas mal de café, chocolaté, barrique encore bien présence, Bourbon avec un léger effet 'sour' fruité rouge, et une fine note de sucre candi.
Palais est épais, Bourbon, booze goodness, parait plus que ses 11%, petite touche d'oxydation après ses quasi 7 années. Pointe de noisette, noix de pécan, léger sur la vanille, chocolaté, pointe de soja, le tout finement collant aux lèvres, café perce en fin de bouche.
Bière qui a bien tenu, tout en sachant qu'elle avait déjà passé 24 mois en barrique avant.

Bourbon and coffee. Always an unbeatable combo for me. Thick rich. Sweet but balanced with s boozy bourbon note. Bitter chocolate.

Bottle shared at Maakuns. Thanks! Black. Deep roasted chocolate malts, coffee, sweet, bourbony. Big sweet and bitter. Full body and soft carbonation. The non BA version with coffee from growler was way more intense.

Bottle at bd party, thanks guys! Black with small creamy tan head. Vanilla bourbon, sweet coffee, licorice, deep roasted cocoa beans, more coffee, tar. Quite sweet and under medium bitter. Full bodied. Super tasty, but the recent non-BA special coffee version I've had was just as good.
