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.

Heavy bourbon & plenty of sticky ketjap mania in the nose. Raisins, dates, chocolate, coffee & vanilla. Plenty of earth & leather. Sweet, bitter & malty taste. Plenty of balanced bitter chocolate. Viscous round mouth. Delicious stuff...

2016 batch. Pours black and lifeless from the bottle. The thin, foamy brown head soon dissipates. Aroma is bourbon and coffee and they meld quite nicely. Taste is sweet and complex, full of bourbon, coffee, wood, dark bread and brown sugar. Medium bodied. Low carbonation. Incredibly sticky. Alcohol stays perfectly hidden. Not the most appealing visually but after a few sips it really draws you in. Well balanced and complex. Excellent.

Bottle that was kindly brought along and shared by Thirstybird (Ryan), cheers Ryan Friday 23rd. On the nose there is of course a little bourbon but also an alcohol buzz and a smidgen of fruit. Wow this is a lovely beer really enjoying this, lots of bourbon, wonderful warmth, smooth and yet there is a little tang, good kick and an overall quality feel to this beer. The coffee is in here but for me it plays second fiddle to the bourbon at the moment. Excellent stuff.Btw Loz thinks that I am being tight she would have given this 4.6 A8 A4 T9 P5 Ov17 4.3

Thanks Virby44 for sharing the bottle! Poured into a snifter showing pitch black center and caramel thick rims with no head. The nose shows a moderately intense bourbon forwardness. The palate is light bodied with barely any carbonation. Moderately intense and perfectly balanced bourbon flavours throughout with light coffee tartness through matched with a light coffee bitterness on the finish. Barely any alcoholic spiciness.

Bottle. Batch 1. By way of a trade with Leighton. Cheers! Nearly black. Creamy, lasting, dense, tan head. Nose has quality chocolate. Soft liquorice. Rich, sweet cake fruits. Beautifully sweet, oaky, vanilla bourbon. Some steeped cherry. Any coffee notes have long gone, but that’s fine by me. This is stunning. Taste is sweet, chocolatey, and woody. Soft charred bitterness. Mouthfeel can’t be bettered. Rich and soft, while never feeling the ABV. Fudge, chocolate, and sweet bourbon on the finish. Wow.
