This version of Jester King and Mikkeller’s collaborative imperial oatmeal stout, made with chipotle peppers and smoked malt, was aged for six months in Tennessee whiskey barrels, prior to the addition of a special blend of Vietnamese coffees, including a large portion of authentic Kopi Luwak coffee (a.k.a. “weasel coffee”).

Poured from a 75 cl bottle at Borefts beer festival, de Molen, day two. Pours almost black with a thin tan head. SImilar to the non barrel aged version - chocolate, coffed and chili - but with a soft oak overlay. Chili is more pronounced.

Bottle at BBF’12. Black colour, thin beige head. Aroma of hard roasted malts, sweet whisky, hint of green peppers, coffee. Flavour is coffee, whisky, some peppers, sweet, light bitter finish. A lot thinner than expected. It’s nice, but the non-BA version is way better.
