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.

Flaska från SB. Ljus bärnstensfärgad klar vätska i princip utan skum. Doft och smak främst av bourbon och smakar i princip som utspädd dålig bourbon men med mer majs och inslag av övermogna söta äpplen. Hyfsat balanserad sötma och sippbar men att dela 33 cl på fyra kändes ganska lagom. Ok+

Pours hazy dark gold into a snifter. Soapy white head with medium retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Vanilla and bourbon aromas. Medium bodied with sweet candy corn and hot vanilla upfront turning to sweet bourbon in the lasting finish. I feel a head rush off one sip, not sure if it's the alcohol or the sugar, but I like head rushes...

12 oz. bottle thanks to Willrunforbeer on the share. Clear golden color. Flavor of bourbon, caramel and maybe a light yeast. Full-bodied with plenty of bourbon. I guess you really can out any style beer in a bourbon barrel!!

Bottle: Clear amber-gold with a fluffy white head. Aroma of bourbon, baked bread, vanilla. Taste is sweet, vanilla bourbon, grain malt. Really rather astonishing......I figured this could be complete mess, but it's done really well....it has a pretty nice alcohol burn, but not overly harsh.....not a sugar bomb either......impressive.

Draught. Shared with Riveiro and Esgueva on the 12/05/2018 at "Skaal", Copenhagen. Deep amber colour with a small and lasting head. Aroma is burnt caramel, some bourbon wood barrels and grains. Taste is bourbon woods, vanilla, caramel malts, bread and toasty grains. Sweet and alcoholic finish. Next one please!
