Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
Elegant, innovative, complex: Black Tuesday provides a uniquely elevated beer-drinking experience unlike any other. Rich, complex flavor from time spent aging in bourbon barrels mingles effortlessly with distinct notes of crème brûlée, poached figs, and milk chocolate. Surprisingly smooth at 19.7% ABV, this is a beer you won’t soon forget.

375ml bottle, 2024 vintage. Rich roasted malt aroma with notes of chocolate, toffee, dark fruit, coffee, vanilla, bourbon, oak and booze. Pours inky black with a thin mocha brown head that has very little retention and a thin ring of lacing. Starts with rich roasted malt, chocolate, oak, coffee and toffee flavors as well as having a rich, full body and slick, viscous mouthfeel. Finishes impeccably smooth with dark fruit, vanilla and bourbon flavors as well as warming booze at the very end. Decadently delicious!

I will look forward to trying another of my bottles down the road. As always, this is such an alcohol bomb but I quickly realized it was more gas than I wanted to end the night. Sadly, didn't finish the bottle.

Bottle from Utobeer, Borough Market. Uber rich nose of dark chocolate, bourbon, cocoa. Smooth boozy taste of dark chocolate, plum jam, bourbon, toffee, caramel. Unsurprisingly sweet warming finish.

Flarra stor ölorivning med ölsemmelieren på wilhemshill . Vi längtar bägge efter öppna denna öl som vi typ vet är hög kvalitet på. Vi testat ett par redigt dåliga Triple ipor innan .Jo här har vi i doften 🍫 CHOKLAD utav helvetes sant lite bourbon . Klunkar och Satans vad mycket choklad 70 % alltså relativt torr . Efterhand minskar chokladen och bourbon ökar åhhhh jättegod . Kan det blir bättre ? jo lite

Flarra på ölprovning på Wilhelmhill med han ni vet! Doftar otroligt mycket 70% choklad. Smaken väldigt balanserad med bourbon russin lite madeira o portvin o som sig bör 70% choklad. Satan så god o med rärr ostjävel lyfter ölen ytterligare. Mmmm det här är bra!
