Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout with Vanilla

Dark Charge is a massive Imperial Stout that showcases Kentucky’s heritage – Bourbon. Dark as the Covington night, this beer features notes of stone fruits, chocolate, coffee, oak, roasted malts, and umami. With an oil-like consistency, and tan head, it is bold enough to inspire you and strong enough to light up a city. For this batch, we added fresh Madagascar vanilla beans.

Bottle at the RBSG Lobby Share. Pours a dark brown with small beige head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is roast, vanilla, bourbon, chocolate. Thick, roast, cocoa, vanilla, boozy finish, very nice.
