Imperial Malt Liquor Aged in Bourbon Barrels
Too Classy for a Paper Bag. Here you have what could be the first malt liquor worthy of a glass. Typically a slighted style, we thought we would class it up with a stay in the wood and a healthy dose of dry-hopping. A huge hit of corn gives this one a smooth sweetness while its time spent aging in bourbon barrels will give you reason to share. Be warned: this one will kick you where you most expect it.

Bottle. Clear amber color with white head. Aroma is piney resinous hops and bourbon barrel: vanilla, caramel. Taste is bourbon barrel, corn, more piney hops, boozy finish, sirupy. Smooth oily mouthfeel with low to medium carbonation. Well made!

Off white frothy head stayed on a hazy, finely carbonated, light copper coloured body. Huge aroma of malt, sugar, over ripe fruit & banana. Full bodied, thick, syrupy, chewy & cloying on the palate. with minimal carbonation. Over ripe fruit, under ripe fruit, loads of sugar, malt, caramel, syrup & honey tastes.

Bottle @ home, thanks to cousin Brad for bringing this to Colorado. Murky dull, dark orange appearance with a lasting cream colored head. Aroma has orange creamsicle and caramel and toffee. Oh boy, this is high boost. Surprisingly not overly goopy or cloying. The flavor isn’t super enjoyable. Not a true malt liquor, let’s be honest.

Draft. A- Everclear, cleaner. A- Copper color, clear liquid, white head. T- Cleaner, harsh, booze. P- Full body, sharp texture, average carbonation, harsh finish. O- Wow. This was bad. I couldn't even get through a 4 oz pour and I was pretty intoxicated when I ordered it. That said, for a malt liquor it's better than most but I would never want any more of this. Like cheap ass grain alcohol.

Bottle from Beautiful Beers, online order. Golden brown, clear with a thin layer of off-white head. Toast with golden syrup in the aroma, along with rye whiskey, caramel, apple butter, sultanas, and booze, booze, booze. Taste is boozy as well: sweet at first with a harsh astringency in the finish. Sweetish whiskey notes and toffee in the aftertaste. A boozy mess, but that's kind of the point. Most likely the pinnacle of the style.

On draught at WOB Easton. Clear dark amber color with a medium off-white head that diminishes gradually to a film. Small patches of lace. Aroma of bourbon, caramel and fruit. Full-bodied with flavors of bourbon, vanilla, caramel malt and fruit. The finish is sweet and boozy with a bourbon aftertaste. Decent overall.
