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.

Flarra två olika Supa äh Super Tuesday testas på Wille hill . Här har vi doft av tung chokolaade. Klunkar och tydlig bourbon 🥃 med Choklolaede 80% känns och där finns också nån bärighet alltså viss syra. Kan det bli godare? Ja med mindre syra

Heavy, sweetish and slightly roasty with some warming alcohol, loads of molasses, brown sugar and syrup, hints of licorice. A bit boozy but surprisingly tasty

2016 Vintage into a clear solo cup showing pitch black with a finger of clean white foam.

The nose shows lightly intense notes of brownies.

The palate is well carbonated and light bodied with a strong alcoholic burn. Dry but with strong notes of caramel, brownies, and molasses followed by a strong burnt coffee bitterness.

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.
