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 from Boxbeers. Clear orange with a white head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, corn, dark fruit, wood and bourbon. Flavor is very sweet and rather bitter. Sweet and moderate bitter finish with lots of alcohol. A bit boozy. 151217

Sampled at Billies craftbeerfest 2017. Thnx for sharing, everyone ! Don't mind my visual info to much, as lighting was really terrible. Pours clear blonde, small white head. Smell is weak, Taste is sharp, bit bitter, booze. Bourbon . not extremely boozy though. taste is nice enough to taste, but I wouldn't want a full glass of this. Feel the alcohol entering the blood...

Amber. Aroma is bourbon, oak, some caramel, syrup, caramellized fruit, Taste is wood sugar, some syrup, bitter alcoholic touch. Quite drinkable but obviously too high abv for enjoyability. Ok.
